Mac McWhorter has retired after nine years at Texas and 31 seasons as a college coach. McWhorter was one of multiple coaches to leave the Texas staff which has been together for a long time. The coaching tree has come up with three potential replacements:
Eddie Williamson is currently the offensive line coach at TCU, where he is in his tenth season. Williamson also has experience as a coordinator and head coach. He was the head coach at VMI from 1985-88, where he had a record of 10-33-1, and has been an offensive coordinator at Wake Forest, Texas Southern, and Baylor.
COACHING TREE CONNECTIONS:
- Offensive coordinator at Wake Forest in 2000. WR coach Bobby Kennedy coached running backs at Wake Forest on the same staff.
- Offensive line coach from 1993-97 at North Carolina under head coach Mack Brown.
Bob Stanley is in his fourth season as the offensive line coach at Western Michigan. He has been an OL coach at 11 different schools, and was the offensive coordinator at Purdue from 1988-90.
