Texas Football: Grading Longhorns 2019 analyst hires

With the recent announcement of four impactful analyst hire to the coaching staff for Texas football, what will each bring to the table?

The Texas football program made some moves before spring camp even officially begun to bolster the coaching staff and try to move this program even further to the brink of national title contention. National title contention might be a bold expectation for 2019, but Texas football should at least be ranked in the top 10 or 15 teams to start this regular season.

More than anything, this recent string of coaching hires for Texas football will likely have a massive immediate impact on the recruiting trail. Having some big name hires that can make some deep connections and bring existing relationships to this staff on the Forty Acres can help to make a big splash on the recruiting trail.

Texas football is at a big point for the rise of this program and expectations will be the highest they’ve been since coming off the 2009 BCS National Championship Game loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
