Firing 2 coaches within a 4 year period isn't a good thing and Texas did that.
So now they have to wait. With how things are now it is much harder
Firing coaches hurts recruiting so only time you do is when they hurt your recruiting.
Even before the world of the internet they went through a few years of ups and downs before they went on an extended peak.
Bill Connelly pointed this out before the season.
They have to finish recruiting strong and win their bowl game.
Especially if it is ND.
ND and their fanbase for whatever reason have a hard-on for Texas. They need to be put in their place.
