Big 12 spring sees unexpected changes at Texas and Kansas

FILE - Texas head coach Tom Herman shouts to his team during the first half of an NCAA college football game against UTEP in Austin, Texas,in this Saturday, Sept. 12, 2020, file photo. When Texas finished its season with consecutive lopsided victories, it seemed that coach Tom Herman would be back for a fifth season despite again falling short of a Big 12 title. There was no reason to think Les Miles would be gone from Kansas, even after a winless second season. Yet, the Longhorns and Jayhawks both went through spring practice with different coaches.

No player frustrated Texas fans last season more than tailback Bijan Robinson. Not because of anything he did, but because of Herman’s odd refusal to give him the ball more often.

Cumbie is on pace to become the third straight Texas Tech quarterback to lead the nation in passing, a statistic that leads some to question whether he's just another product of coach Mike Leach's wide-open offense. Four former Big 12 quarterbacks are coaching QBs at their alma mater, with three new in those roles this spring. Collin Klein, the 2012 Heisman Trophy finalist at Kansas State, is going into his fifth season as the Wildcats quarterback coach. The new trio are Sonny Cumbie at Texas Tech, Kenny Hill at TCU and Shawn Bell at Baylor. (AP Photo/L.M. Otero, File)
