For head coach Charlie Strong, finding an offensive coordinator who can schematically put the Texas offense in a position to succeed isn't the hard part. The hard part is selling job security for more than a year.
Reportedly, Tulsa co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks/wide receivers coach Sterlin Gilbert is willing to take that risk. Bobby Burton of 247Sports reported Thursday Gilbert "agreed to become Texas' offensive coordinator." Chip Brown of Horns Digest added Friday that Gilbert agreed to a "two-year, guaranteed deal totaling roughly $650,000 per year."
Texas, however, has not made an official announcement yet, and there are still reports that Gilbert will stay at Tulsa, according to ESPN.
