More than two weeks after Texas Longhorns associate head coach/run game coordinator/running backs coach Stan Drayton was initially mentioned as a candidate to receive his first head-coaching opportunity with the Temple Owls, he’s now emerging as the top choice, according to the Philadephia Inquirer.
In fact, new Temple athletics director Arthur Johnson, a longtime Texas administrator who took the job back in October, is reportedly in advanced negotiations with Drayton, who was touted as a future head coach by Tom Herman when he hired Drayton in early 2017. An announcement could come as soon as this week.
