Locked on Longhorns Podcast: Five areas of improvement

The latest Locked on Longhorns Podcast discussing the optics of the head coach, men’s basketball and five areas to improve.

The Locked on Longhorns Podcast kicks off discussing the perception of Tom Herman. Given some of the comments from his recent press conferences, what do the optics look like for the Texas head coach? As they say perception is reality. Can the team quiet the noise given all the rumors floating around about who could be the next head coach at Texas? Patrick also discusses if Tom Herman’s job is on the line in 2020.

The men’s basketball team is only 34 days from returning to the hardwood. Can Shaka Smart lead his team to a win over a top Southeastern Conference foe? This will be a good challenge for this team. Given the entire team returns in 2020-2021, are they one of the top talented teams in the Big 12 Conference? How much will Greg Brown’s addition help this team?

In the final segment, it is all about the football team. What are the five areas for improvement on offense for the Longhorns? Sam Ehlinger is going to need to play better but he isn’t the only one. Despite some his poor performances as of late, Ehlinger has been the savior for the team. His miraculous comeback efforts have forced two overtime games. The team around him needs to step up and help the senior quarterback and not rely on Ehlinger to play hero ball.
