Just days before recruits in the 2021 recruiting class were able to sign National Letters of Intent on Early Signing Day, Texas Longhorns athletics director Chris Del Conte released a statement of support for head coach Tom Herman that was so tepid it needed immediate clarification.
“There’s been a lot of speculation about the future of our Football coach. My policy is to wait until the end of the season before evaluating and commenting on our football program and coaches. With the close of the regular season, I want to reiterate that Herman is our coach,” Del Conte said.
