The Flagship: What the future holds for Tom Herman, COVID-19 cases impacting Texas Dec 10, 2020

Show notes

The Longhorns were delivered unfortunate news for many Texas fans this week when three-time national championship head coach Urban Meyer told Texas he is not planning to return to coaching and officially turned down the Longhorns' offer to make him the next head coach at Texas. With the two-month whirlwind to court Meyer to Austin did not work out in the Longhorns' favor, the question remains: What does this mean for Tom Herman's future at Texas?

On this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes weigh in on the current coaching situation for Texas following Meyer saying thanks but no thanks, and how his decision impacts Herman's fate in Austin. The hosts also discuss the current COVID-19 disruptions inside the football program following the Longhorns' road game to Kansas State as Texas officially resumed 'limited outdoor team activities' Wednesday. However, as it currently stands, the upcoming road trip to face Kansas this weekend remains up in the air after more COVID cases popped up from Wednesday's testing.

The Flagship then shifts focus to some listener questions, including if Herman is expected to return to Texas next season, who, if any, coaching candidates remain in the picture for the Longhorns, facility upgrades still needed, in addition to other hot topics surrounding Texas football.

Following a brief break, Chip and Taylor return with the weekly 'Love it or Leave it' segment, with the topics focused on an unlikely, though popular, name circulating around Longhorn Land to potentially take over as head coach, what the start of the basketball season could mean for the Longhorns' NCAA Tournament hopes and if the Sooners are on upset alert on the road at West Virginia this weekend as Oklahoma looks to secure the program's sixth-straight Big 12 title game appearance.

Catch all of that and much more on this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast.
