UCLA is crazy if they don't dump a truckload of cash at Beard's house and try to lure him to LA. He's taken a bunch of rag tags to the Final Four. Best pure X's and O's coach in the Big 12 by a country mile.
I would think his plan would be to stay at Tech a little longer until Texas (his alma mater) opens and pursue that on the assumption it opens soon. Also assuming Tech makes it impossible to leave by making him substantially more rich to a degree to not have interest in Austin.
It Tceh is smart, they lock him Beard for the long term -- and the rest of the Big XII will have to get annual inoculations against Raider Rash for the next decade or two.
That said, this school has a rich history of either running off many of its better/best coaches -- or having its coaches find creative ways to leave Lubbock (that Tuberville stunt still rates as an all-timer).
It'll be interesting to see which way this one goes.
