ATLANTA – Texas Football head coach Tom Herman was named the Dodd Trophy preseason watch list, the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl announced Thursday. It is the third-straight year that Herman has been on the watch list for the award that celebrates the head coach of a team who enjoys success on the field, while also stressing the importance of scholarship, leadership and integrity – the three pillars of legendary coach Bobby Dodd's coaching philosophy.
Herman has led the Longhorns to 25 victories through his first three seasons on the Forty Acres, the third-most victories by a head coach in his first three seasons at UT all-time.
