Shaka Smart Officially Keeps His Job As Longhorns Head Coach

You can’t get fired for missing the tournament two years in a row if there is no tournament to miss?

You may not like it, but that’s just the way it works. Coronavirus has officially saved Shaka’s coaching career at the University of Texas. Incredible.

But for those who wanted Shaka gone, there is a bright side that comes with him staying in Austin. That bright side is 6’ 9”, 195 lbs and goes by the name of Greg Brown III:

Greg Brown III and his dad have consistently told me he is strongly considering Texas but won't be a Longhorn if Shaka Smart is fired. https://t.co/ZXd9txtCkk
