3 potential replacements for Texas WR coach Andre Coleman

News that isn’t all that surprising arrived for the Texas football program to cap the weekend that the second-year wide receivers coach Andre Coleman would not be coming back on the staff of head coach Steve Sarkisian in 2022. Multiple reports confirmed that Texas will not be bringing back Coleman in 2022.

This is the second positional coach on Sark’s staff that will not be coming back in 2022 that was announced within the last week. But the reasons why former Texas running backs coach Stan Drayton and Coleman will not be returning for the Longhorns in 2022 are of a different nature.

Drayton took the head coaching job with the Temple Owls last week after spending five years as the Texas running backs coach.

Coleman and Drayton were also the only two position coaches that Sark kept on the Texas coaching staff once he was hired in January 2021. Sark parted ways with every single one of the other assistants/position coaches on staff under former Texas head coach Tom Herman upon his hiring.

Yet, it looked like the days were numbered for Coleman after some of the struggles on the field and on the recruiting trail at the wide receiver position this year. If not for the former Michigan Wolverines four-star commit and freshman breakthrough wideout Xavier Worthy falling into the Longhorns’ lap in the 2021 signing class, this year would be a pretty big failure for Coleman.

Now that Coleman is out as the wide receivers coach for the Longhorns, what’s next?

Here’s a look into three potential replacements for the Texas wide receivers coach after the departure of Coleman.
