Major Applewhite back at Texas

I won't be able to attend tomorrow's press conference announcing the hiring of Major Applewhite, so here's the scoop.
After spending a season at Alabama as offensive coordinator, Applewhite is taking a demotion — but not a pay cut — to return to Austin.
The former Texas quarterback will be assistant head coach and running backs coach. The Houston Chronicle reports he'll make $250,000 a year.
"It's exciting to be a Longhorn again, Applewhite said in a statement. "The opportunity to
come back to my alma mater, working with Coach Brown, Coach Davis and all the great coaches, many that I know and have worked with before, is special. Having the chance to be with all of them the last couple of days, to see their passion, to be a part of the expectations they¹ve built and see how they're all on the same page and heading in the same direction is really exciting to be a part of."
Before Alabama, Applewhite coached at Rice. He started his coaching career under Mack Brown as a graduate assistant.
In his playing days, Applewhite became a fan favorite while throwing for 8,353 yards and 60 touchdowns.
"We're really excited to have Major back, Brown said in the statement. "He was a great player for us and we saw him growing into a terrific coach as a graduate assistant here for two years."

Major Applewhite to Texas?

It's that time of year in college football. The rumor mill is up and running, and it won't stop until the season of hirings and firings is over.
Have you heard this one?
Major Applewhite to Texas, where'd he'd replace Greg Davis as offensive coordinator.
This is definitely a rumor, but isn't that what blogs are for?
My source — whose scrupulousness I can vouch for — heard it from a former teammate and current buddy of Applewhite's. Supposedly, UT and the Major have been talking.
It'll be interesting to see if anything comes of this.
