Candidates reportedly emerge for Texas RB coach
Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian is working to hire an assistant to replace running backs coach Tashard Choice, who departed to the Detroit Lions last week, with West Virginia Mountaineers running backs coach Chad Scott a “leading candidate,” according to a Wednesday report from Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.
Two other coaches are also receiving consideration from Sarkisian, according to Anwar Richardson of Orangebloods — Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets running backs coach Norval McKenzie and Nebraska Cornhuskers running backs coach EJ Barthel.
But Inside Texas and On Texas Football are reporting on Wednesday evening that the Horns are expected to hire Scott.
