Ole Miss has officially announced Chris Beard as the Rebels’ new head men’s basketball coach.
Chris Beard, the former Texas Longhorns men’s basketball head coach who was fired over accusations of domestic violence against him, is reportedly expected to take the Ole Miss job.
Beard and the Longhorns were 7-1 this season before he was suspended and fired in the wake of allegations of domestic violence.
A Texas prosecutor dismissed the charge “after a careful and thorough review of the evidence” and considered the wishes of his fiancee’ Randi Trew.
In December, Trew called 911 and told officers that Beard strangled, bit and hit her during a confrontation in his home.
She later said Beard didn’t choke her, and that he defended himself from her. She added that she never intended for him to be arrested and prosecuted.
Beard had the charge dismissed last month and appears poised to take the head coaching job with the Rebels, according to multiple reports.Â
Ole Miss parted ways with Kermit Davis before the end of the 2022-23 season.
