Tom Herman Will Return as Texas HC in 2021 Despite Urban Meyer Rumors
Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte has confirmed that Tom Herman will remain head football coach in 2021.
Del Conte addressed the Longhorns' coaching situation in a statement released Saturday:
There had been speculation about Herman's future when Urban Meyer was reportedly intrigued by the Texas job.
Chip Brown of 247Sports reported on Dec. 6 that Meyer "indicated" to Texas that he is "leaning toward not coaching again due to health reasons."
Meyer has been serving in his current role as a television analyst for Fox Sports since retiring from Ohio State after the 2018 season.
Herman has been with the Longhorns since November 2016 when he replaced Charlie Strong. The 45-year-old looked to have the program trending in the right direction when they won 10 games during his second season.
Since the start of 2019, however, Texas has won 14 of 22 games and has a 6-3 record this season. Recruiting isn't a problem, as the Longhorns have finished in the top 10 of 247Sports composite rankings every year since 2018.
Herman is signed through the 2023 season after receiving a two-year extension in May 2019. He is 31-18 overall in four years at Texas.
