Although the primary assistant coaching jobs have been filled, head coach Tom Herman must now hire a new offensive analyst.
Corby Meekins was expected to fill this role for the 2020 season. According to Rivals reporter Anwar Richardson, Meekins has accepted a position as the tight ends coach at the University of Houston.
Former Texas State football coach Everett Withers will join the Texas Longhorns as an offensive analyst, according to my sources. Withers was the New York Giants DB coach last season.

Meekins served as an assistant coach for the wide receivers and tight ends throughout his three-year tenure at Texas. Due to his departure from his newly-designated support staff role, the Longhorns are expected to hire long-time coach Everett Withers.
Withers was most recently the defensive backs coach for the New York Giants, but previously served as the head coach for Texas State, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and James Madison University.
Although Withers didn’t have much success at Texas State, he led James Madison to a conference title in 2015 with an overall record of nine 9-3.
It’s not his first stint in Austin. In 1998, Withers served as the Longhorns defensive backs coach. He is widely considered a great football mind who should make an excellent addition to Herman’s support staff.
Welcome back, coach.
