Tulsa co-offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert will be the new offensive coordinator at Texas, a source told ESPN's Gerry Hamilton, confirming multiple reports.
Gilbert is expected to receive a two-year deal, the source said.
Texas coach Charlie Strong is looking to reboot the Longhorns offense heading into his third season in Austin. He stripped offensive coordinators Shawn Watson and Joe Wickline of their play-calling duties after one game last season. Receivers coach Jay Norvell called plays for the final 11 games of Texas' 5-7 season.
Gilbert served as a graduate assistant on Art Briles' staff at Houston in 2005 and worked for two Briles protégés, Philip Montgomery and Dino Babers, during his rise through the coaching ranks.
