On Tuesday, numerous reports surfaced indicating that the Texas Longhorns will add Auburn Tigers offensive line coach Herb Hand as a co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach.
The expected move both adds some help for offensive coordinator Tim Beck and offensive line coach Derek Warehime and provides a public repudiation of their efforts in 2017 by head coach Tom Herman.
A look back through Hand’s coaching career helps reveal some of the offensive philosophies that he will bring with him to Austin and the impact he can have on the staff.
After serving for two years as a graduate assistant at Clemson, Hand received the first big break of his career — Rich Rodriguez hired him as the tight ends coach/recruiting coordinator.
