Texas introduced Tom Herman as its new head coach Sunday afternoon. Herman becomes Texas' 30th football coach and third in four years.

Here are five takeaways from Tom Herman's Texas introduction:

1) Herman the clear target in quick search

Texas' search for a new head coach didn't last long. The program announced the Herman hiring just hours after firing head coach Charlie Strong on Saturday morning.

And the quick search was by design. University President Greg Fenves said Texas pinpointed Herman as the "clear target" very early in the process.

"What is important is in the end we got our man," Fenves said. "And that man is the hottest coach in college football today, and he is here to lead the Longhorns."

Herman said he was thrilled to come "home" to Texas, where he spent two years as a graduate assistant under Mack Brown from 1999–2000. He recognizes the Longhorns' reputation as a premier team despite struggles on the field the past few seasons.

"The University of Texas is a special place that deservedly holds a seat among college football elite," Herman said. "We will win championships. We will build men of character. We will graduate our players, and we will do it all with integrity and with class."

2) Recruiting Texas high schools a point of emphasis

The Longhorns look to make a big recruiting splash with Herman at the helm this offseason. The 41-year-old coach has recruited in Texas for "20 some odds years," and he called on state high school coaches to trust his staff.

"I also want the high school coaches of the great state of Texas to know that this is their football program," Herman said. "We're the flagship university of the best high school football-playing state in America. And I want to continue to do a great job of recruiting our fine student-athletes produced by Texas high school football coaches."

Herman has coached at several in-state schools, including Houston, Sam Houston State, Texas State and Rice. He said he knows countless coaches in Texas and hopes to maintain his relationships with them.

"I've grown up with the high school football coaches in this great state," Herman said. "It's important to me the great players in this great state of Texas understand that we're going to do everything we can to keep them home too. So I think that's really important."

Herman has his work cut out for him in his first offseason. Texas has signed just seven players to its class of 2017 as Strong always emphasized late pushes in the recruiting season. But Herman said he already has a pitch ready for recruits.

"You're going to be playing with some talented players and you're going to be the best trained team in America," Herman said "You're going to be physically and mentally tough. You're going to be the most physically and mentally tough team on the field."

3) Urban Meyer's influence

Herman comes to Texas with a resume highlighted by a national title as an assistant under head coach Urban Meyer at Ohio State in 2014. He spent three years in Meyer's program as offensive coordinator, taking home the Broyles Award for the nation's top assistant coach in his final season.

Herman said he learned a lot under Meyer and plans to incorporate those experiences as Texas' head coach.

"For Coach Meyer, I feel like I went to head coaching school for three years," Herman said. "People ask me all the time, what was the thing I took away the most? There was a thousand things I took away from Coach Meyer."

Herman cited Meyer's discipline as a key ingredient in their success at Ohio State. He said Meyer makes sure his team is "aligned" and players understand expectations off the field.

"It can't be okay to show up two minutes late for a tutor but not be okay to show up two minutes late for a position meeting," Herman said. "So you have to be aligned in everything that you do or else kids oftentimes have a way of going off the reservation a little bit."

4) 'Limitless' love for his players

Texas' new coach makes a point to show his players love. He even goes as far as kissing them on the cheek before games.

Herman said he prioritizes making his players better men off the field. He believes on-field success will come as his players continuously mature.

"[We] want to build them into better husbands, better fathers, and better employees, and winning is just a by-product of that love," Herman said. "

However, Herman said his love for his players won't come right away.

"It's not going to be Camp Texas around here, I can tell you that," Herman said. "This is going to be a very difficult program, especially at first. And you're going to have to earn the respect and trust and love of our coaching staff and of myself."

Still, Herman emphasized he'll go above and beyond for the players that earn his trust.

"But once you have [earned it], I mean, the sky's the limit," Herman said. "Once you've proven yourself to us as a bona fide dude, a real guy, a guy that we could trust and count on, then the love is limitless."

5) Herman not fazed by pressure

Facing a massive fan base and powerful boosters expecting results, Herman knows he has many people to please at Texas. But he isn't shying away from the challenge.

Herman said he's confident he'll be able deliver wins to a hungry Longhorn nation.

"I think pressure is that uneasy feeling that you feel when you're unprepared," Herman said. "Pressure is self-inflicted. Pressure is self-doubt when you're unprepared."

Herman said he'll need to make adjustments to the program, which has sputtered to a 16-21 record over the last three seasons.

"I told them that some of the things that we'll do in our program will be similar [to Strong]," Herman said. "But I also told them that the definition of insanity is repeatedly performing the same act, expecting different results, and that we need to change some things."

He emphasized the preparation will be difficult for his players -- "winning is hard," he said -- but will be worth it in the end.

"We're prepared for this job," Herman said. "We're prepared for success at this job. We're prepared for adversity in this job. So I don't feel any sense of pressure at all."
