The commonly discussed hot seat of fourth-year Texas football head coach Tom Herman of late came to a head with the news over the weekend that the pursuit of Urban Meyer as a potential candidate was over. Herman got to have a breather, at least for now, in terms of his job security for the immediate future.
We don’t know what will happen at this moment with the coaching search, or even if there will be one, heading into next offseason. Texas athletic director Chris del Conte looks like he will re-evaluate Herman and the overall coaching situation with the football program once the Early Signing Period is in the books and the offseason has officially arrived.
