Tulsa's Sterlin Gilbert is the new offensive coordinator at Texas, the Longhorns announced Saturday.

Gilbert agreed to the deal Friday night after meeting with Texas coach Charlie Strong, athletic director Mike Perrin and school president Greg Fenves. Perrin and Fenves flew to Tulsa, Oklahoma, with Strong to complete the deal after talks broke down and Gilbert rejected the initial offer.

Video footage showed Gilbert meeting the Longhorns' entourage outside a Tulsa home. The former Texas high school quarterback will also be the quarterbacks coach for the Longhorns.

"I've been looking forward to an opportunity like this for a long time, and we're finally here," Gilbert said in a statement.

Gilbert will receive a three-year contract worth $850,000 annually.

At Tulsa, Gilbert shared offensive coordinator duties with Matt Mattox and coached quarterbacks and receivers under first-year coach Philip Montgomery. Mattox, Tulsa's offensive line coach, will join Gilbert in Austin as the offensive line coach and running game coordinator on a three-year deal worth $550,000 per year.

"We just made two great hires for our staff," Strong said in a statement. "They're outstanding coaches who will do a great job of not only developing our players, but also representing this university and doing things the right way."

Both contracts are pending approval by the Texas board of regents.
