Plus: Texas softball sweeps Kansas
Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian has earned high praise across college football in recent years. Most recently, when he led Texas to the College Football Playoff Semifinals.
On3 recently described Sarkisian as a Top 5 coach.
From On3: “Sarkisian won 10 games for the first time in his career in 2023, resurrecting the Longhorns’ program back to national prominence by winning the Big 12 and making the CFP. He’s arguably the best play-caller in college football and is certainly one of the top offensive minds. After failed stints at Washington and USC, Sarkisian is building a monster at Texas. He’s recruiting top classes and is aggressively utilizing the transfer portal. It seems a matter of when, not if, he’ll become a national champion head coach.”
