NCAA investigation costs former Ole Miss assistant his job at Texas

Chris Vaughn, who was an assistant in Oxford at the same time as David Saunders, is being dropped from Charlie Strong's staff in Austin.

Another former Ole Miss assistant has apparently been implicated in the NCAA investigation. Sources told The American Statesman that Texas will part ways with defensive backs coach Chris Vaughn because of his involvement in the brewing scandal in Oxford. The NCAA reportedly has a "thick file" on Vaughn, who served as a defensive assistant and recruiting coordinator under Houston Nutt from 2008 to 2011.

"Chris did a tremendous job for us," Longhorns coach Charlie Strong said on Thursday.
