What has become increasingly expected in recent months is now reality.
The University of Texas has fired head football coach Tom Herman, parting ways with the 45-year old after the conclusion of his fourth season with the Texas Longhorns. The decision comes just days after Texas’ dominant 55-23 Alamo Bowl win over Colorado. However, it’s what what took place weeks earlier that largely signaled the impending end of his tenure with Texas — a 23-20 loss to No. 13 Iowa State, which dropped the program to an underwhelming 5-3 overall and more significantly, 4-3 in Big 12 action to effectively eliminate the Longhorns from the Big 12 Championship picture.
