Texas announced Saturday that it has parted ways with football coach Tom Herman after four seasons before announcing later in the day that it has hired Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian as his replacement.
Texas said in a statement that athletic director Chris Del Conte evaluated the program and recommended a change to university president Jay Hartzell. Herman went 32-18 at Texas and 7-3 this season, which culminated with a win over Colorado in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Tuesday.
The buy out is 28 MILLION dollars. Yes, 15 Million for the original contract and 6.5 and 6.75 for each of the two years they signed him on extension to back in May.
The firing is just after Texas AD Chris del Conte said on December 12th that Herman would remain the Longhorns head coach for 2021 (after he couldn't land Urban Meyer)
