The arranged marriage of Shane Buechele and Sterlin Gilbert started with a breakfast last month.
On the same weekend Gilbert agreed to become Texas' new offensive coordinator, Buechele was in Austin on his official visit. The Longhorns' quarterback commit was relieved to hear his future coach had finally been found. But he didn’t know the guy.
"I was a little impatient about what was going on with all the coaching stuff," Buechele admitted.
One morning meeting with Gilbert put him at ease. There aren’t many who know where exactly Texas is heading with its offensive renovation.
