Finger: After Chris Beard’s arrest, a major decision looms at Texas
Texas Longhorns men's basketball coach Chris Beard walks out of the Travis county Jail with his Defense Attorney Perry Q. Minton on Monday afternoon Dec. 12, 2022. Chris Beard who is faces a domestic assault charge. Beard was booked into jail at 4:18 a.m. Monday, according to the Travis County sheriff's office jail records. Beard faces a third-degree felony charge of assault on a family/household member-impede breath circulation.
On that point, let’s make something clear: the ultimate decision will be made by someone at Texas who far outranks the athletic director. So it was no wonder and no surprise that Texas maintained its default mode of radio silence on Monday. Yes, it was a bad look for the school to wait more than 12 hours without saying a single word about Beard’s arrest Monday morning on a felony family violence charge.
By the letter of his seven-year, $35-million deal with the university, there’s nothing stopping Texas from firing Beard right now. In court, he’s innocent until proven guilty. A provision in his contract, though, stipulates that he can be fired for cause for conduct the administration “reasonably determines is clearly unbecoming to a ead oach and reflects poorly on the niversity,” and specifically mentions being charged with a felony.
But according to the arrest affidavit, also first obtained by the Statesman, a woman who told the police she is Beard’s fiancée said “he choked me, bit me, bruises all over my leg, throwing me around and going nuts.” The affidavit also noted a bite mark on her arm, and said the woman told police she couldn’t breathe for about five seconds as an arm was being held over her neck.
