In the two months since the Texas Longhorns hired co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Herb Hand, one of the biggest questions surrounding the program has been the extent to which he will influence an offense that ranked No. 99 nationally in S&P+ and No. 89 in success rate.
On Monday, head coach Tom Herman made it clear that he didn’t hire Hand to completely revamp the offense — “we have an offense that we believe in.”
Don’t expect Hand to call plays next season, either. In February, Herman defended offensive coordinator Tim Beck’s performance last season and said that Hand will influence game planning, a point he reiterated on Monday.
