Vegas Odds: Who Will Be The Next Texas Offensive Coordinator?

Sportline has released the Vegas odds for the next Texas Longhorns offensive coordinator.

As the Texas Longhorns prepare for their Alamo Bowl game against the Utah Utes on December 31st, there is still a looming question of who will be the new offensive coordinator for Tom Herman in 2020 following the Tim Beck demotion following their win over Texas Tech.

The team moved swiftly in naming their new defensive coordinator in Chris Ash earlier this month and speculation has run rampant about who will be delivering the calls to quarterback Sam Ehlinger and the Texas offense when they take the field in the 2020 opener in South Florida Bulls at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on September 5th.

Sportsline has released the Vegas Odds for who is most likely to get the job with no surprises here. All three of the names have been highlighted by Longhorns Wire and most other outlets.

  1. Mike Yurcich, Passing Game Coordinator at Ohio State. Yurcich has Big 12 ties as he was the offensive coordinator for the Oklahoma State Cowboys from 2013-2018 before leaving for the Buckeyes.
  2. Kirk Ciarrocca, Offensive Coordinator at Minnesota. Ciarrocca has been around college football for the better part of the last 25 years. He joined the Minnesota staff in 2017 after a four-year stint at Western Michigan. Ciarrocca also developed NFL quarterback Joe Flacco during his time at Delaware.
  3. Rhett Lashlee, Offensive Coordinator at Southern Methodist. Lashlee has been an assistant in college football since being a graduate assistant for Arkansas in 2006. He was part of the National Championship run at Auburn under Gus Malzahn. He most recently turned the SMU offense to a top teir attack. They ranked 9th in the country.
