He has ascended back into coaching stardom as a result and was recently asked about his recommendation for the Indiana basketball coaching vacancy on an episode of "Pardon My Take.

St. John's coach Rick Pitino said on Pardon My Take that Indiana should hire Chris Beard: 'He'd have them in the top 5-7 every single year'

Rick Pitino knows good coaches when he sees one, and he believes Ole Miss has a great man in command with Chris Beard. With a 19-7 record and a top 25 ranking, Beard likely will earn a new contract this offseason.
