Steve Sarkisian coaches his way onto Burnt Orange hot seat at Texas

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian faces mounting pressure after a disheartening 27–24 home loss to Florida, marking the program’s second straight defeat and raising serious questions about its College Football Playoff aspirations. The Gators’ late-game rally, fueled by a defensive stand and key turnovers, exposed vulnerabilities in Texas’s offense, particularly in the fourth quarter where star quarterback Arch Manning struggled to capitalize on opportunities.

Sarkisian, visibly frustrated postgame, indicated the team will conduct a thorough review of its performance, with concerns extending beyond Manning’s play to the offensive line’s execution and practice habits. Analysts have also intensified scrutiny of Manning’s fit with the system, as his inconsistency—highlighted by another late-game collapse—has become a focal point in the broader evaluation of Texas’s direction under Sarkisian’s leadership.
