After a tumultuous back-and-forth between the NSHE Board of Regents and the UNLV department of athletics, Chris Beard was voted the new head coach of the Runnin’ Rebels with a 9-4 decision.
With one of their roughest seasons behind them, the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels look forward to a revitalizing recovery under Beard.
Beard served as assistant coach to hall of famer Bob Knight for seven years.
Beard is known for turning losing teams into winning teams within the span of a single season. His last position as head coach at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock left the Trojans with a 30-5 win-loss record.
