David Beaty’s time at Kansas didn’t exactly go as well as he hoped. Fortunately for the former head coach, he might have the chance to revitalize his career at Texas.

In three seasons with the Jayhawks, Beaty had a 6-42 record. One issue he came across was competing with football programs for top recruits.

With Kansas placing its trust in Les Miles for next season, Beaty is reportedly on his way to help a conference rival.

According to Texas reporter Anwar Richardson, Beaty moved to Austin in anticipation of joining the Longhorns’ coaching staff as an analyst.

We’ve seen former coaches join top programs to help rebuild their reputation in the coaching ranks. Perhaps Beaty can follow that blueprint that worked for Lane Kiffin, Steve Sarkisian, and others.

Beaty is still working out his contract situation at Kansas, but I'm told it's getting closer to a resolution every day. pic.twitter.com/NoLQCfuudu
