Chris Beard was on the verge of turning Texas into a monster. Anyone who thinks RT will be as successful as Beard COULD have been are not worth debating. Beard definitely has the higher ceiling, which approaches dynasty level. That said, one is here and the other isn't, because Beard despite all of his salesmanship and coaching prowess... is a moeran. Let's also all remember that Beard was 65-38 in his last 4 seasons (63.1%). Granted, it looked like he had it going in 22/23, but there are no guarantees. And yes, Terry has a career 0.530 record, but that includes two major rebuilds at historically bad teams. His last 3 years at Fresno he was 66-34 (66.0%). He won't be a 0.500 coach at Texas. I would bet my retirement on it. Next year will be much rougher than this year due to all the roster turnover… regardless of who was the coach… if Terry can get some good portal value and put a competitive, hard nose team on the floor next year, he could well have a good run at Texas
