This time last season, Texas coach Tom Herman was riding high. The Longhorns were fresh off a Sugar Bowl victory over Georgia and projected as a top 10 team.
There are plenty of reasons that Texas struggled to meet its lofty goals in 2019, none bigger than inexperience. But no one knows better than Herman, at Texas, excuses aren’t acceptable. So he fired both coordinators after the season. Others left on their own. Only two assistants remain from Herman’s initial 2017 staff.
