The Texas Longhorns addressed their first staff opening of the offseason by hiring a new offensive coordinator.
A day after TCU’s Sonny Cumbie turned down the gig, Texas filled their offesnsive coordinator spot, hiring Sterlin Gilbert away from Tulsa. The move was not unexpected as Gilbert was in Austin yesterday. However, Texas did interview Cal OC Tony Franklin before the announcement was made.

Gilbert will bring an Art Briles-style spread with him to Texas, where he will have plenty of talented offensive players to toy with. Rumors are that Gilbert will also bring Tulsa co-offensive coordinator Mike Mattox with him to take over offensive line duties, which means that this is the end of the line for Joe Wickline in Austin.
