Less than a month ago, Texas men's basketball coach Chris Beard had a dream job at his alma mater, a $35 million contract, a glittering new arena to sell to recruits and a roster capable of contending for the national title.
, a woman answered the door and identified herself as Beard's fiancee. She said that she and Beard"had been upset with each other for a couple days regarding relationship issues."
As the woman attempted to retrieve her glasses, Beard “just snapped” and “became super violent," she said, according to the arrest affidavit. Beard, the woman alleges, then"choked me, threw me off the bed, bit me, bruises all over my leg, throwing me around, and going nuts." She said Beard choked her from behind for “like 5 seconds” hard enough that she couldn’t breathe.Officers on the scene arrested Beard after observing bite marks, cuts and abrasions on the woman.
After Texas’ first game without Beard, Terry told reporters, “I love Beard like my own brother.” He described Beard as an “incredible guy” and “a guy that wants to win more than anybody and wants to make this university proud.”Texas hired Beard on April 1, 2021, giving him a massive seven-year, $35 million contract to return to his alma mater and revive its underachieving men's basketball program.
