Texas Longhorns head coach Chris Beard’s program has turned over a second assistant coach with Jerrance Howard leaving the program. Brian Davis of the Austin-American Statesman first reported the news on Thursday evening and Howard’s name is no longer listed in the school’s staff directory.
An Illinois native who played for the Fighting Illini, Howard moved into coaching for his alma mater in 2007, spent one season on Larry Brown’s staff at SMU, and then was hired by his former coach, Bill Self, at Kansas, where he spent eight years, during which he established a reputation as a strong recruiter.
