Summary

The loss to Iowa State not only sent the Longhorns' Big 12 title hopes out the window, it also could have impacted the future of the football program under Tom Herman's direction. On this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes deliver the latest on where things stand with Herman's future at Texas and what is coming out of Urban Meyer's camp as a potential candidate to take over at Texas if the Longhorns choose to make a head coaching change. The Flagship weighs in on a potential timeline of when more clarity could come forward regarding Meyer's desire to return to coaching, in addition to what could be holding him back from re-entering the college football coaching game. Chip and Taylor also discuss the latest rumblings on players opting out at Texas following the news that both Sam Cosmi and Caden Sterns were entering the NFL Draft and foregoing the remaining games in 2020, plus what the opt outs means for the team with the Longhorns still having two regular-season games left on the schedule. The Flagship then shifts its focus to Love It or Leave It, with this week's topics focused on Urban Meyer, where's the motivation inside the locker room after being knocked out of the Big 12 title race and much more. Catch all of that and more on the latest episode of The Flagship Podcast.
