In his two seasons as head coach of the Texas football program, head coach Tom Herman has managed to do some rather remarkable things. Taking over for a team that had gone a combined 16-21 in the three seasons prior to his arrival, Herman arrived on the Forty Acres and in his first season was able to lead the Longhorns to a 7-6 record that had several opportunities to be slight higher.
In his second season, Herman was able to build on his first season and lead the team to a 10-4 record (the first ten win season in Austin since 2009 when the Longhorns played Alabama for the national championship), and a bowl victory over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.
