Well bad news and good news continues to flow. Been very busy in and out of the community. I was at the press confeence spoke to many people and some were very upset with the process that took place. How could that be? I was told by sources and those very close to UNLV that everything they were doing was great. Well things changed due to some major changes in those who directed the search. UNLV has learned how they will be in running the department as major changes are on the way. New conference, stadium, professional partners are coming, and those supporters and community officials with UNLV officials all have to work together.
My source told me everything is very excited about the future of UNLV athletics.
If Beard leaves which we are all waiting for the official release. However he has told Texas Tech yes but nothing has been made official. Been told that Beard may have to find a way for Tech to make 2 buyouts. (1) ArkansasLR and the other here at UNLV. More details will follow.
Will Beard change his mind? Was told that UNLV new something was going on late lats week when it was tipped that Tubby Smith made contact to Beard about a possible opening. Beard didn't make any moves at UNLV due to this reason.
Its not official and things might fall apart but Beard is apparently wanting the Tech job.
UNLV will have a plan and it looks like they would announce the hiring immediately Do not know the coach but was told a large number of the officials have agreed over a meeting yesterday and also will make department changes after summer.
Things have to be the best at UNLV from now on with all the new additions happening at UNLV. They know it and it will get done.
I was given an indication that UNLV would not make the splash hire due to some issues and Pitino falling out. The other coach next to Beard during the last process did not accept the deal or decline. So UNLV might actually use this down time to get a deal done with the head coach.
Stay tuned
