Longhorns Daily News: Former Texas MBB coach Chris Beard is reportedly a top candidate to fill head coach job at Texas A&M

Briefly tenured Texas Longhorns men’s basketball head coach Chris Beard is a top candidate for the head coaching gig with the Longhorns’ oldest rival, Texas A&M.

That’s according to multiple outlets.

Ole Miss coach Chris Beard will be one of the primary candidates for the Texas A&M opening, source told @TheFieldOf68.

Will be interesting to see whether Beard would rather stay in Oxford or head to College Station.— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanHoops) April 2, 2025

Beard, who currently leads Ole Miss’ program, has guided the Rebels for the past two seasons.
