The Texas Longhorns have announced the addition of two former Michigan football coaches, Steve Casula and JB Brown, to their coaching staff for the 2026 season. Casula will serve as a TE analyst, while Brown will take on the role of ST analyst.
Why it matters
The hires of Casula and Brown represent an effort by the Longhorns to bolster their coaching staff with experienced talent from a top college football program. Both coaches bring unique perspectives and expertise that could help strengthen the Longhorns' offensive and special teams units.
The details
Casula previously served as the tight ends coach and co-offensive coordinator at Michigan, where he oversaw an effective tight ends group. Brown, on the other hand, had a less successful stint as Michigan's special teams coordinator, as the unit struggled mightily in 2025 before he was fired.

The takeaway
The hiring of Casula and Brown by the Texas Longhorns represents an effort to bring in experienced coaching talent from a top college football program in Michigan. While Casula had a successful stint with the Wolverines, Brown's time as special teams coordinator was less impressive, providing the Longhorns an opportunity to potentially turn around that aspect of their team.
