Summary
From spring football to Texas hoops' coaching search and beyond, there's plenty to discuss about the Longhorns on this week's loaded episode of The Flagship Podcast.
Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes weigh in on the hottest headlines surrounding the Longhorns, starting with the latest update on Texas football, which could soon return to practice.
The Longhorns expect to resume spring football this week after COVID-19 caused Texas to pause all activities after the first day of spring practice. Barring any changes, the Longhorns will be able to get back in action Thursday as they make their way through the first spring schedule under head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff.
The hosts weigh in on how the Longhorns have managed the unexpected pause of practice and how it will impact the future spring schedule, before shifting focus to the latest on Texas basketball's head coaching search after Shaka Smart announced his departure from the Longhorns to take over as head coach of Marquette. All eyes are on Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard who is the leading candidate in the search, but other names remain in play in the event the Longhorns do not land Beard.
After a quick break, The Flagship returns with our weekly Love it or Leave it segment, as this week's topics include the timeframe Texas expects to hire the next basketball coach, how much of a setback the pause in spring practice truly is for the football team and legendary Texas men's swim coach Eddie Reese's retirement after taking home his 15th national title win with the Longhorns.
Catch all of that and much more on this week's loaded edition of The Flagship Podcast.
