AUSTIN, Texas -- New Texas athletic director says Steve Patterson says he expects a successor to Mack Brown will be found in the next two weeks.
Patterson said before kickoff at the Alamo Bowl on Monday night that he believes Texas needs a new coach by Jan. 15. That's the end of the so-called "dead period" in the NCAA that prohibits coaches from in-person contact with recruits during bowl season.
Patterson said coaches "are certainly expressing their interest" in the job but wouldn't discuss any potential candidates.
