Texas Longhorns

Sarkisian’s been around quite awhile. He worked with Pete Carrol, Kiffin, and Sabin. Was a QB in college, played in the CFL, then started coaching in the NFL and college. 
 

He’s been out west most of his career. 
 

Not sure that’s an exciting hire if I were a Texas fan.

As a Longhorn fan, I hope this isn’t true. He had had alcohol issues at multiple programs (Washington and USC spring to mind).

True.

 

But I have to think that Sabin didn't put up with anything.

Yeah, but he won't be working for Saban anymore

Also, has he really been that successful as a coach?

 

I could be OC at Alabama.

I'm not really sure that he has been. I only really remember that he resigned from USC because of problems with alcohol.

@Billsandhorns (and if anyone else cares and gets the channel)

 

Today on the Longhorn Network, kickoff ~2PM eastern:

 

 

@Ann Could we please get a thread title change to something more generic now like “Texas Longhorns”?

The latest Manning family QB (and the #1 recruit in the entire 2023 class):

At least it's not Alabama, OSU or Clemson.

 

College football is better when Texas, Michigan, USC and Notre Dame are good.

[Billsandhorns]

Hopefully he makes a difference.

I would certainly hope so.  No one deserves a job based on their uncle's accomplishments.
