BTW,
Turns out Beard has been working on this move to UT for about a year. He has the same agent as Shaka. Wasn't that a strange move! Shaka got railroaded out without being paid off with the big money. Beard wouldn't talk to the AD for the last several weeks.
Inside word is that he changed after the National Championship game. Probably the pressure to repeat. A lot of people in the athletic department, including coaches from other sports were getting fed up with him. Everyone put up with him because of his success but that was wearing thin. He had some issues with players and scholarships. He would promise a player as scholarship then pull it if he got someone else - not at the end of the year but once even after the player showed up to campus. Not a really good way to treat someone. I for one am glad he's gone. We don't need his kind.
So what you're saying he'd be perfect for sip.
