It has been a little more than eight months since Chris Del Conte left TCU to take over the Texas Longhorns athletic department and, so far, most everyone would agree that it’s been a home-run hire.
In his short tenure, Del Conte has engaged and rejuvenated a fanbase that had become dangerously apathetic towards the department after years of mediocre results and, of course, the Steve Patterson debacle.
Del Conte is proudly fan-centric and not afraid to show it. His goal to interact and engage the large Texas fanbase has turned himself into a fan favorite and even somewhat of a Twitter celebrity.
