Herman Still Has Nearly 400 Congratulatory Messages To Reply To Since Being Named UT Head Coach

DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Things can get a little hectic when you're the head coach of a college football program.

Tom Herman has certainly felt overwhelmed before, but probably not as much as he does now since he's the new head coach at Texas.

Herman has so many congratulatory messages to return that he hasn't even gotten around to returning all of them yet.

At least 388 messages remain unread on Herman's phone, but that doesn't mean he won't get back to you.

"Still working on getting back to everyone. To all my friends, thank you for your patience. (Hashtag) HookEm!," Herman tweeted.

Herman replaced the ousted Charlie Strong on Saturday following three straight losing seasons at Texas.
