David Beaty may have been promoted too quickly to Head Coach in his career, but a good solid look through his resume may suggest otherwise. Let's take a good look and see what this man has accomplished in his career.
2006-2007- Rice Wide Receivers Coach
Beaty came to Rice after coaching high school football for over 10 years, joining Todd Graham to coach a struggling team. Rice went 7-6 and Beaty coached WR Jarrett Dilliard to a breakout sophomore season. The Owl's went 7-5 before loosing the New Orleans Bowl to Troy, 41-17. In 2007, Graham left to coach Tulsa, while Beaty stayed in Rice joining David Bailiff's staff for a disappointing 3-9 season. Despite the fact that Dillard had a down season, Beaty's Receiver group expanded from 2 Wide Receivers catching 30+ passes to 3.
2006- Rice
Jarrett Dilliard- 91 catches, 1247 yards, 21 TD's; Tommy Henderson 31 catches, 245 yards, 1 TD. (Italics denote conference leader)
2007- Rice
Jarrett Dilliard- 79 catches, 1057 yards, 14 TD's; Toren Dixon- 46 catches, 448 yards, 5 TD's; Tommy Henderson- 36 catches, 348 yards, 3 TD's.
2008-2009 Kansas Wide Receivers Coach
Beaty joined Mark Mangino's staff at Kansas in 2008 to coach his Wide Receivers, and Beaty did not disappoint. Kansas produced 3 players with 40 or more catches and 2 1000 yard receivers. Dezmon Briscoe was the teams deep threat receiver, finishing 3rd in the country with his 1407 yards receiving, while Kerry Meier finished 2nd in the Big 12 with his 97 catches. Kansas went 8-5, winning the Insight Bowl over Minnesota 42-21.
Beaty returned in 2009, and so did Briscoe and Meier. This time, Kansas wasn't so great, despite both Briscoe and Meier finishing with over 80 catches, the Jayhawks were unable to post a winning record, and Mangino and staff were fired.
2008-Kansas
Kerry Meier 97 catches, 1045 yards, 8 TD's; Dezmon Briscoe 92 catches, 1407 yards, 15 TD's; Johnathan Wilson 43 catches, 573 yards, 3 TD's.
2009-Kansas
Kerry Meier 102 catches, 985 yards, 8 TD's; Dezmon Briscoe 84 catches, 1337 yards, 9 TD's; Johnathan Wilson 35 passes, 449 yards, 0 TD's; Bradley McDougald 33 catches, 318 yards, 0 TD's.
2010 Rice Offensive Coordinator
Beaty returned to Rice and rejoined with David Bailiff to coordinate the offense. The Rice offense lacked a lot of talent, even in C-USA terms, and Beaty's offense failed. They averaged 375.3 total yards per game, and 28.7 points per game. Beaty left the team after a poor 4-8 showing.
2010-Rice
Notable Performers: RB Sam McGuffie 883 yards rushing, 384 yards receiving, 9 TD's; WR Vance McDonald 28 catches, 396 yards, 8 TD's; TE Luke Willson 33 catches, 425 yards, 3 TD's.
2011 Kansas Co-Offensive Coordinator/Wide Receivers Coach
Turner Gill brought Beady back to Kansas to help coordinate the offense and coach the receivers. Kansas had been reduced to ruins in the year that Beaty was gone, and the Jayhawks cashed in 1 2-10 season, after a 2-0 start. The team didn't work well at all, and Beaty left at the end of the season.
2011-Kansas
Notable Performers: RB James Sims, 846 total yards, 9 TD's. WR's: DJ Beshears 40 catches, 437 yards, 3 TD's; Kale Pick 34 catches, 344 yards, 2 TD's.
2012-2014 Texas A&M Wide Receivers Coach
Beady joined Kevin Sumlin's staff as he prepared Texas A&M to move into the SEC. His first season there, Beaty had Ryan Swope, freshmen Mike Evans and Thomas Johnson to play as his main receivers. Swope had his final season, a career one, finishing 5th in the SEC in catches. Mike Evans broke out as a freshman player, leading the team in all receiving categories, finishing 3rd in the SEC in catches and yards.
In 2013, Texas A&M featured the stunning season of Evans, Malcome Kennedy stepping into the starting role, and 2 key seniors stepping into roles, giving A&M 4 receivers with 50 or more catches. Evans finished 2nd in the SEC with 1394 receiving yards to only 69 catches, and an SEC high 12 TD catches.
2014 the receiving corps only got better for the new QB's Kenny Hill and Kyle Allen. 5 Receivers caught 30 or more passes, Sophomore Josh Reynolds finishing 2nd in the SEC with his 13 TD catches. At the end of the worst season for A&M in the SEC yet, and 8-5 mark, Beady left Sumlin and company to coach Kansas.
2012 Texas A&M
Mike Evans 82 catches, 1105 yards, 5 TD's; Ryan Swope 72 catches, 913 yards, 8 TD's; Thomas Johnson 30 catches, 339 yards, 1 TD.
2013 Texas A&M
Mike Evans 69 catches, 1394 yards, 12 TD's; Malcome Kennedy 60 catches, 658 yards, 7 TD's; Derel Walker 51 catches, 818 yards, 5 TD's; Travis Labhart 51 catches, 626 yards, 8 TD's.
2014 Texas A&M
Malcome Kennedy 53 catches, 611 yards, 6 TD's; Josh Reynolds 52 passes, 942 yards, 13 TD's; Ricky Seals-Jones 49 catches, 465 yards, 4 TD's; Speedy Noil 46 catches, 583 yards, 5 TD's; Edward Pope 30 catches, 454 yards, 4 TD's.

Overview
Beady has a history for developing very strong receivers, and that was one of Kansas' biggest weaknesses last season. Hopefully Beady can put together a passing game that can revive the dying program.
