Texas coach Tom Herman joined Zach Smith on 2014 strip club trip

Texas Longhorns coach Tom Herman has been identified as the assistant coach who accompanied former Ohio State assistant Zach Smith to a strip club while on a recruiting trip.

Ohio State spokesman Chris Davey told the Columbus Dispatch that Herman was part of a 2014 strip club trip that also featured high school coaches in addition to Smith.

Smith's $600 involvement in the Miami-based excursion was noted in the school's detailed 23-page summary of its investigation released last week, though Smith was the only person named in the documents.

Herman was the Buckeyes' offensive coordinator from 2012-2014 before taking over as head coach at Houston (2015-16) and now Texas (2017).
