AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — After a decade at Boise State, new Texas offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin promises one thing: He won’t try to change the color of the field.

Harsin was introduced Monday as co-offensive coordinator. He shares the title with former Texas quarterback Major Applewhite, the running backs coach. Harsin will call the plays.

The pair is charged with revitalizing the Texas offense after the Longhorns went 5-7 and missed a bowl game for the first time in Mack Brown’s 13 seasons in Austin.

Harsin choked up when he talked about leaving behind Boise State and its famous blue field. But he called Texas a special place.
