Texas fired football coach Tom Herman on Saturday, weeks after athletic director Chris Del Conte seemingly backed him. The university made the announcement days after the Longhorns beat Colorado 55-23 in the Alamo Bowl. Herman took over as the Longhorns’ coach in 2017 and was 32-18 in that span. Del Conte seemingly ended speculation over Herman’s future last month as Texas’ regular season ended. With the close of the regular season, I want to reiterate that Tom Herman is our coach," he said at the time.
