A source confirmed to me that Texas assistant coach Jeff Traylor has accepted a pay raise and will remain with the Longhorns. Horns Digest was the first to report the news.
More than one program pursued Traylor after the season, which prompted Texas to give the first-year coach a raise. I am still working to confirm if Traylor's job title has changed. A source told me earlier this week Traylor would remain the Texas' special teams coordinator/tight ends coach.
Traylor has emerged into one of the best recruiters on staff. Strong could not afford to lose Traylor once the dead period ended in January. Instead, Strong's retention of Traylor, plus the recent additions of offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert and offensive line coach Matt Mattox, has seemingly improved the Longhorns coaching staff.
