Newly hired Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, who\u2019s on his second tenure coaching for the Longhorns, is so far pleased with what he\u2019s seen from the program, according to a recent KXAN<\/a> report.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told them day one that change is inevitable in life, and sometimes, you aren\u2019t in charge of it,\u201d he said. \u201cSometimes it happens very much out of your control, but growth is optional. You grow with us, or you don\u2019t. They decided to grow with us, and I\u2019ve been so impressed with their work ethic and buy-in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hopeful words ahead of big expectations for the 2026 college football season.<\/p>\n
