Memphis v West Virginia - Scooter's Coffee Frisco Bowl | Sam Hodde/GettyImagesTexas parted ways with a few assistant coaches and staffers recently, and one of them has officially found their new home for the 2026 season.
Chad Scott, the Longhorns' running backs coach in 2025, will be joining good friend and new HC Neal Brown at North Texas. Scott and Brown worked together for a long time at West Virginia a while back, and now the two reunite again in Denton.
