Gazette-Mail has learned WVU aims to name Joe Wickline offensive coordinator. Contracts for Damon Cogdell, Joe DeForest will not be renewed. — Mike Casazza (@mikecasazza) January 10, 2016

Wickline spent two years at Texas as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. His contract was not renewed after the 2015 campaign and head coach Charlie Strong chose to move the offense in a different direction with the hires of offensive coaches Sterlin Gilbert and Matt Mattox.

Strong wished him and former assistant head coach for offense/ quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson the best of luck in their future endeavors after letting them go.

"Shawn's been on our staff for five years, and I really appreciate everything he's done for us here and at Louisville," Strong said. "I've known Joe for a long time and have enjoyed working with him. They are really good coaches and high-quality people. I'm grateful for all they've done, but feel like with our new vision for our offense, we're at a point where we need to look in a different direction in their positions. I thank them and wish them the best."

As offensive line coach, Wickline's offensive line gave up 32 sacks in 2015, which had the Longhorns ranked No. 102 in sacks allowed. Texas passing offense struggled under Wickline, Watson and play-caller Jay Norvell's guidance. The Longhorns finished the season ranked No. 117 in passing offense. But Texas had a top 20 rushing offense as it finished No. 18 in the FBS averaging 224.8 yards per game.
