The hiring of Metzger by Texas was posted on several vb blogs.  The rumors were about his motivation to uproot his family from SoCal.  He lives in Redondo Beach with his wife and two kids.  If you're a beach person that's about as nice a place as it gets.  He played for UCLA indoors back in the day so a UCLA guy.  He continues to get the very best beach players.  It sure seems like the Longhorns flashed some big bucks at him.
 
If UCLA beach stays in the PAC-12 or goes independent does the beach program share in future B1G TV revenue with the other UCLA sports?  Right now UCLA athletics is in hard times financially.

The Volleyball Magazine article says he told the UCLA team last week, so I guess it's no surprise this was not a secret. 

Apparently he was making around $140,000 at UCLA, and supposedly Texas said they could go as high as tripling the salary for a top-notch coach.

Interesting question about the UCLA finances.  Would seem pretty strange if the beach program didn't get a cut of the B1G money.  I guess the other side is that beach doesn't generate any revenue for the B1G.
