Texas coach Tom Herman is trying to avoid a repeat of the Charle Strong era in this aspect

Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the league during a live chat recently. Here are some highlights.

Question: Will Tom Herman end up calling plays this year?

Carlton: Best guess: Yes, at least at some point during the season. For now, Tom Herman seems reluctant to take on play-calling duties from Tim Beck. Although his rise was defined by his work on the offensive side of the ball, Herman did not call plays in two years as a head coach at Houston.
