In May, Texas Longhorns co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Herb Hand received a $60,000 raise to elevate his salary to $700,000 over the last two years of his contract.
In recruiting during the 2021 cycle, Hand hasn’t earned a cent of that raise over the proceeding months.
On Friday morning, as Katy Taylor offensive guard Bryce Foster celebrated his 18th birthday, a Texas hat sat on the table in front of him as he announced his college decision. It was a mere formality — the Longhorns hadn’t been serious contenders in Foster’s recruitment for months. And that’s generously offering that Texas was ever really a contender at all past ranking fourth or fifth or so on Foster’s list at any given time.
