Texas A&M AD Trev Alberts can't be blamed for Chris Beard using his off from the Aggies as leverage to increase his salary at Ole Miss.

The Aggies reportedly believed Chris Beard would accept their head coaching job, and his decision to stick with Ole Miss left them reeling.

Chris Beard informed Ole Miss on Wednesday that he will remain the Rebels’ head coach moving forward. This comes after his discussion with Texas A&M over their current head coaching vacancy. Beard is now set to receive a raise and an enhanced NIL package for his program.
