Texas Coach Credits New Orleans Native Arch Manning for Not Being ‘Destroyed’ by Expectations
Sarkisian said Texas is working to avoid another one-dimensional season after finishing 10-3 and missing the College Football Playoff.
- On Thursday at SEC Media Day, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian assessed the 10-3 season, stating the outcome was "not good enough" for a program with championship expectations.
- After a 2025 campaign that fell short of College Football Playoff goals, Sarkisian prioritized building chemistry among 47 new players, including 22 transfers, during the offseason.
- Four starters from other Power Four rosters joined the program, while veteran Will Muschamp was hired as the new defensive coordinator to anchor the defense.
- Texas faces a challenging 2026 schedule beginning with Texas State before hosting the Ohio State Buckeyes in an early-season matchup offering a chance for revenge.
- Targeting a return to the College Football Playoff, Sarkisian believes quarterback Arch Manning is poised for a dangerous season after learning from last year's difficulties.
