AUSTIN — More than two weeks after Texas reassigned the winningest coach in college baseball history, the Longhorns have given little indication they’re even close to naming Augie Garrido’s replacement.
With multiple potential targets withdrawing their names from consideration and reports of several programs offering new contracts for their sought-after coaches, the UT opening clearly has commanded attention. But a UT official could not confirm this week that athletic director Mike Perrin has even met with a candidate to become the Longhorns’ third baseball coach since 1968.
