Chris Beard Set For UNLV Head Coaching Vacancy

As the search for a candidate to fill the UNLV head coaching vacancy dragged on into late Sunday night, it was finally reported that Chris Beard of Arkansas-Little Rock appeared to be the new leading candidate to replace Dave Rice.

Once Monday morning arrived, the two sides had apparently reached an agreement.

 


Beard and the Trojans dominated the Sun Belt Conference this season, parlaying that into a favorable auto-bid seed and a date with Purdue. One win later, it looks like the coaching profession found their next rising star.

However, not everyone is thrilled with the hire.


Indeed, developing connections in Southern California will be paramount to Beard’s success.
