AUSTIN – Major Applewhite, Texas' all-time leading passer and the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Alabama, could be announced as the Longhorns' new running backs coach as early as this evening, sources said.

Applewhite and his wife, Julie, had dinner Tuesday night with Mack Brown and Brown's wife, Sally, at Brown's residence in Austin, where Applewhite was expected to be offered the job by Brown, according to a source close to the Texas program.

A source close to Applewhite said he expects the ex-UT quarterback to accept the job. Applewhite is scheduled to fly back to Tuscaloosa today and meet with Alabama coach Nick Saban, who has been reluctant to give total control of the offense to Applewhite.
