The Texas Longhorns are back everyone — at hiring a new head coach — again.
The Longhorns fired head coach Tom Herman after finishing 7-3 in the 2020 season. The team actually finished on a high note with Herman by pounding Colorado 55-23 in the Valero Alamo Bowl. Herman went 32-18 (22-13 Big 12) during his time at Texas (2017-2020).

This article trashed the Texans pretty harshly.
I guess it’s easy to sit at your desk. With all your gray hair years of football 🏈 knowledge & make comments about a team obviously struggling to make their fans proud . At this time unsuccessfully. Head coach was given way too much time. You don’t need to ask the players to help make executive decisions. They get their check every week. Too much jawing not enough talent.
