Shaka Smart is locked in as the head coach for the Texas Longhorns through at least the 2022-23 season.
That’s what’s stated in Smart’s contract, anyway.
Texas was locked in to advance to at least the second round of the NCAA Tournament in two of the last three seasons.
That’s what was stated on my NCAA Tournament brackets, anyway.
Expectations can drive you crazy.
My expectations, clearly, are the reason why I think this is an extremely crucial year for Smart that will dictate the narrative surrounding his tenure at Texas and his future moving forward.
