The current Texas Longhorns staff, and more specifically, running backs coach Stan Drayton, have received a considerable share of criticism in recent years in regards to running back recruiting.
Fair or not, the staff essentially inherited some the Texas fan base’s frustrations from the Charlie Strong era striking out on in-state star J.K. Dobbins. And though that wasn’t a miss on the part of the current regime, the narrative didn’t benefit much from Dobbins scampering for 1,403 yards during his debut season in Columbus as Herman and his staff struggled to piece together a competent running back rotation.
