Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian missed out on adding yet another impressive name to his staff in Austin this week when Georgia’s Dan Lanning spurned an offer from the Longhorns for the team’s defensive coordinator position.
Lanning would have been the fourth assistant that Sarkisian had been able to lure away from the SEC, following the hires of offensive line coach and offensive coordinator Kyle Flood, tight ends/special teams coordinator Jeff Banks, and quarterbacks coach A.J. Milwee, all of whom came from Alabama.
Texas also added former Nick Saban assistant Bo Davis as the defensive line coach. Davis spent the last three seasons with the Detroit Lions at the same position.
