Texas’ Tom Herman and Sam Ehlinger were listed among the top quarterback-coach combos in college football.
One oftentimes makes the other better.
While a talented quarterback can lessen the strain on an unproven coach, the same is true with a knowledgeable coach and an under-the-radar quarterback. If you’re really fortunate, you have the best of both worlds.
ESPN staff writer David Hale recently ranked the top quarterback-coach combos in college football. The rankings were separated into different groupings, but the top three appear to be nobrainers.
Herman has been fortunate to have a talented signal caller in Ehlinger since he’s been the head coach at the University of Texas. When Ehlinger enters the NFL Draft after this season, Herman will be put to the test. Fortunately, he’s been recruiting well at the position.
“After Vince Young and Colt McCoy made Texas a QB haven in the previous decade, the Longhorns’ offense disappeared from 2010 through 2017 as the team cycled through both coaches and quarterbacks. But the marriage between Herman and Ehlinger has revived the fireworks in Austin, and their offensive success over the past two years — 80 total TDs, 8,100 yards — is on par with anything Young or McCoy produced in their heyday.”
There’s no doubt that the Longhorns duo shows up against nationally-ranked competition. Herman has won the last three major bowl games that he’s coached in, while Ehlinger showcases his best performances under the spotlight.
Ehlinger enters his senior season as a Heisman trophy contender, but Herman’s revamped coaching staff must put it all together in order for this young Texas team to succeed as a whole.
Former Texas quarterback Shane Buechele appeared on the list under the castoffs who found the perfect home. Buechele transferred to Southern Methodist University after it was clear that Ehlinger had won the starting job. He was the perfect match for head coach Sonny Dykes, the duo provided SMU with its first 10-win season since 1984.
The safest gamble was awarded to Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley and Spencer Rattler. Riley has an incredible offensive mind and he’ll be working with the top-ranked quarterback recruit from the 2019 class.

It has been a good day for Texas as they are having a successful NSD. Before the day had even started, Tom Herman started some controversy.
It has been a good day for the Longhorns as they are having a successful early signing period National Signing Day. Before the day had even started, Head Coach Tom Herman started some controversy.
During Longhorn Network’s signing day coverage, they set up a camera in a meeting room. The TV broadcast switched to that camera and caught Herman flipping it off with both hands. After a few gestures towards the camera, he quickly crossed his arms and acted like nothing happened.
You can watch the video here:
@kbohls Just saw this on LHN. Why is Coach flipping the double bird to the LHN camera here? Did he not realize the camera was on? LOL but seems like a great signing day 🤘🤘 pic.twitter.com/uKI41ltr3k

As usual, Herman is picking up a lot of grief for this act. It is possible that he had no idea that the camera was live and was just having some fun. Other people in the room seem to be laughing with Herman, not taking the incident too seriously.
Despite all of this, Texas has had a great day. They have signed 15 prospects this far, with all but one of their previous commitments signing their national letter of intent. All that remains in five-star running back Bijan Robinson, who is expected to sign with the Longhorns later today.
