Texas Longhorns Hire Matt Moran to Improve Special Teams

Texas Longhorns have hired Matt Moran as their new assistant special teams coach, following the departure of Jeff Crosby to Appalachian State. Moran brings over a decade of coaching experience, having previously worked at institutions like Stanford, Boston College, and James Madison, where he significantly improved field goal percentages and special teams efficiency. His hiring comes at a critical time for Texas, which struggled in special teams during the previous season, ranking 117th nationally. The Longhorns aim to address issues such as missed field goals and penalties, which contributed to their challenges in securing key victories. Meanwhile, Dante' Carter has joined Deion Sanders' staff at the University of Colorado after leading Texas College's defensive line to notable success in the NAIA rankings, though his specific role at Colorado remains unclear. Both teams are actively enhancing their coaching staff to improve performance for the upcoming seasons.
