Sources report that VCU Rams Head Coach Shaka Smart has agreed to become the next lead man of the Texas Longhorns after the school fired Rick Barnes less than a week ago.
Smart, 37, led VCU on a Cinderella ride in 2011 as the school made an unexpected trip to the Final Four before losing to Butler 70-62. Smart won at least 26 gamesĀ inĀ all six seasons coached at VCU.
