While the entire football program has been operating from home in regards to schooling and virtual meetings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the coaching staff plans to return to campus on Monday.
Anwar Richardson of OrangeBloods.com recently reported that some coaches will be in their offices for particular days of the week moving forward, where social distancing practices will be stressed.
The Texas Longhorn football staff will return to campus on Monday (less than 30), according to my sources. They will be in the office on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. However, players will resume virtual meetings on Wednesday. Social distancing and masks will be emphasized.

Although the coaching staff is currently only returning to their offices on a part-time basis, this feels like a small step towards some normalcy on the Forty Acres.
It’s particularly important for all new football coaches who recently joined Tom Herman’s staff. It will allow more time for each of them to get accustom to a new routine, office space, etc.
It’s still unclear when students will return to campus, but this news provides hope that it could come sooner rather than later.
