It’s been an interesting 24 hours in Austin. As the TCU game wound down, my phone started to vibrate. And vibrate. And vibrate. The rumor mill was swirling with some pretty surprising ideas, but I was hearing them from people not known to be wrong so I started to dig. I’ve hit up as many people as I can to see what I can gather, and I think Shaka Smart is leaving Texas at the end of the season.

I have three sources who have said some form of this, but more to the point I have zero sources saying Smart is definitely staying another year. The people I’ve talked to who believe Smart will be at Texas next season all seem to be operating from the assumptions I was working off of prior to yesterday, namely that the guaranteed money was too big to get past. I think - and to be clear, this part is my personal speculation - Texas is helping Shaka find another home in exchange for a reduction on the guaranteed money left on his deal.

Beard has pretty significant ties to Texas Tech, no?

I get it - more money. But I think he likes where he’s at. But just my opinion.

He wouldn't take it IMO.

Just as many ties to TTU as UT.

I feel Shaka Smart got away from what made him successful at VCU. His teams had athletes that played a physical full court press almost all game. At Texas he just recruited away from his system and started trying to sign the highest rated player. The NCAA rule changes against allowing more physical defense really hurts what made him successful.

He was left nothing but yes it did. I thought he’d follow Self after he left TU and won some at Wake.
