AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A person with knowledge of the decision says Tulsa assistant Sterlin Gilbert has agreed to join Texas as the Longhorns offensive coordinator after a personal plea from Texas President Greg Fenves.
Details of the agreement weren't immediately available. The deal was struck in a Friday night meeting between Fenves, Texas coach Charlie Strong and Texas Athletic Director Mike Perrin in Tulsa, according to the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because there was no official announcement.
The Texas entourage flew to meet Gilbert on Friday night after he turned down an offer from Texas earlier in the day.
