Longhorn head coach Charlie Strong was told 'no way' to hiring Chad Morris and Tom Herman as offensive coordinators when he was hired in 2014 by former athletic director Steve Patterson, according to a report by HornsDigest.

"I was able to confirm Strong explored bringing both Chad Morris and Tom Herman to Texas as offensive coordinator when Strong was first hired at UT in January of 2014," HornsDigest's Chip Brown wrote. "Patterson said no way (even though Morris would have come - that's how much Morris wanted to get back to Texas and get in at the flagship)."

Texas was, at the time, paying former coach Mack Brown and Strong's buyout from Louisville.

Texas president Greg Fenves and interim athletic director Mike Perrin support Charlie Strong returning in 2016, according to two sources in the report.
