The Inside Texas Q&A session offers an in-depth discussion on the current and upcoming developments concerning the Texas Longhorns football program.

The host addresses key fan questions regarding coaching staff movement, player decisions about the upcoming bowl game, NFL draft prospects, player development, and roster management strategies, especially in the NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) era. The conversation reveals that coaching changes are expected post-bowl games but remain largely behind the scenes for now. Player participation in the Texas vs. Michigan bowl game depends heavily on draft projections, with Anthony Hill confirmed to be opting out and others like Malik Muhammad still undecided. The discussion also highlights the evolving pipeline of talent, with several younger players poised to take on larger roles next season, particularly Jonah Williams, who has missed vital practice time.

The segment touches on the complexities of NIL agent interactions, emphasizing the gradual professionalization of the industry and the challenges coaches face in discerning genuine player intentions versus negotiating tactics. Finally, the conversation turns to Texas’ strategic priorities for the transfer portal, focusing on offensive line and running back positions, with flexibility around wide receiver and safety depending on player retention and departures.
