Tulsa Golden Hurricane co-offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert opts not to join Texas Longhorns staff

Tulsa co-offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert won't be heading to Texas after all, according to ESPN's Gerry Hamilton and multiple reports.

Gilbert was expected to leave Tulsa to become the Longhorns' new offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports Thursday, but ended up declining the offer.

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.
