Summary

The Longhorns kicked off 2021 with major news in college football after Texas officials made the decision to fire fourth-year head coach Tom Herman and replace him with current Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian. The changes inside the football program came down in the weeks following Urban Meyer turning down the Texas job offer, which led to UT officials to narrow their focus on Sarkisian as Herman's replace. While Sarkisian has yet to make the move to Austin, Texas as he plans to stay at Alabama through the CFP National Championship game against Ohio State, the newly hired coach is starting preliminary talks with coaching candidates to join him on his Texas staff. On this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes discuss the latest intel coming out of the football program regarding Sarkisian's search to fill his first coaching staff at Texas. The hosts weigh in on some names to watch as potential candidates to join Sarkisian's staff, which could likely include some familiar faces around the Forty Acres. The Flagship also weighs in on Horns247 breaking the news on Sarkisian's contract terms pending UT regents approval and the fate of some current Texas assistant coaches, including defensive coordinator Chris Ash, before shifting some focus to the UT men's basketball team following the Longhorns' monster 84-59 win at Kansas over the weekend. Following a quick break, The Flagship returns with the weekly 'Love it or Leave it' segment, with topics ranging from the likelihood Ash is retained by Sarkisian, how much of Herman's buyout Texas anticipates to pay following his dismissal and if the early start to the season has changed opinions on Texas hoops under the direction of Shaka Smart. Catch all of that and much more on this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast.
