Smart was officially announced as the new head coach of the Golden Eagles on Friday afternoon, replacing Steve Wojciechowski.
During his six years at UT, Smart was 109-86 overall and 51-56 in Big 12 play. At best, the Horns finished third in conference standings and only three appearances in the NCAA tournament - including this year's loss to 14th-seeded Abilene Christian.
