Texas Football: What Longhorns Fans Need to Know About New Offensive Coordinator

It took some drama, but Texas got its offensive coordinator in former Tulsa assistant Sterlin Gilbert.

Now what?

Charlie Strong introduced Gilbert as the play-caller and offensive coordinator, along with offensive line coach Matt Mattox, on Monday. Just getting to that point was an adventure for the Horns, who had to send Strong, president Greg Fenves, athletic director Mike Perrin and special teams coordinator Jeff Traylor to Tulsa to get the deal done.

The end result of the circus is a three-year deal for the Art Briles disciple worth $850,000 per year.
