Texas football is starting to radically reshape the look of the coaching staff following the departure of now former head coach Tom Herman.

On the morning of Jan. 2, the Texas football program took a permanent turn when they announced both the firing of now former fourth-year head coach Tom Herman, and the hiring of the current Alabama Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian to fill his role. Texas wasn’t anticipated to announce this kind of news at least until the end of college football bowl season.
