Texas fired Herman on Saturday after four winning seasons, then hours later announced it was giving the job to the Alabama offensive coordinator. He will be Texas’ fourth head coach since the program’s last Big 12 championship in 2009.

Texas fired Herman just three weeks after athletic director Chris Del Conte said he would remain the coach.
