The Texas Longhorns are actively searching for a new running backs coach following Tashard Choice's departure. Chad Scott, currently the running back coach at West Virginia, has reportedly emerged as the frontrunner for the position. Scott has a solid coaching background, having worked as West Virginia's interim head coach and previously on staff at North Carolina. The Longhorns have a strong history of developing running backs into NFL prospects, with notable players like Bijan Robinson and Jonathon Brooks recently entering the league. As Texas transitions into the Arch Manning era, Scott will face high expectations to continue this trend.
