The first workout with the new Texas coaching staff went down late last week, and to say it wasn't easy would be an understatement. But from the early sound of it, the Longhorns came out of the grueling workout with a much different attitude than what the team previously would have under the former regime.
On this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast, Horns247 columnist Chip Brown and managing editor Taylor Estes weigh in with some insider notes from the first complete workout with Steve Sarkisian and his staff present, and give their thoughts on what we're hearing from sources close to the players that should give Texas fans hope for where the team's buy-in is early on in the Sarkisian era in Austin. The Flagship discusses the changes in the offseason training program before shifting focus to the 2021 football schedule, which was released by the Big 12 Conference this week.
The Longhorns will have a bit of a rough start to the season with seven straight games to kickoff the season, which includes facing some of the tougher opponents in the conference during that span. The Flagship also weighs in on the Longhorns' recent commitments in five-star QB Maalik Murphy and three-star linebacker Trevell Johnson, which is the perfect introduction to this week's Love it or Leave it segment, as the hosts discuss why fans should be excited about the commitment of Murphy.
Love it or leave it also mentions what Murphy's pledge means for the recruitment of five-star dual-threat QB Quinn Ewers, why Texas special teams coordinator Jeff Banks is so highly regarded in college football and the level of concern for Texas hoops as the Longhorns make their way towards the NCAA tournament.
Catch all of that and much more on this week's episode of The Flagship Podcast.
