Texas Football announces staff changes
Two assistant coaches on offense will not return for the 2016 season.
AUSTIN -- The contracts of University of Texas assistant coaches Shawn Watson (Assistant Head Coach for Offense/Quarterbacks) and Joe Wickline (Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line) will not be extended with the Longhorns football staff, head coach Charlie Strong said on Saturday.
“Shawn’s been on our staff for five years, and I really appreciate everything he’s done for us here and at Louisville,” Strong said. “I’ve known Joe for a long time and have enjoyed working with him. They are really good coaches and high-quality people. I’m grateful for all they’ve done, but feel like with our new vision for our offense, we’re at a point where we need to look in a different direction in their positions. I thank them and wish them the best.”
