The details for the contract of the newly hired Texas basketball head coach Chris Beard were released the day after the hiring was announced. On April 2, the salary figures for the former Texas Tech Red Raiders head coach Beard were dropped, and it is surely a sizable contract. Texas was going to have to break open the wallets for Beard if they wanted to snag him from Lubbock.
Beard will be making nearly $1 million more on average annually with this contract with the Longhorns compared to his base salary during his last year with the Red Raiders.
