THE BIGGEST COACHING SHAKE-UP IN TEXAS HISTORY: Steve Sarkisian Out, Legendary Coach Returns to Lead Longhorns
In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves throughout the college football world, the University of Texas has announced that Head Coach Steve Sarkisian has been relieved of his duties, effective immediately. The news, which was confirmed by the university’s athletic department on Tuesday, has left Longhorns fans reeling and wondering what’s next for the program.
But in a surprise twist, the university has announced that legendary coach Mack Brown will be returning to the sidelines to lead the Longhorns for the remainder of the season. Brown, who previously coached at Texas from 1998 to 2013, is a beloved figure in Austin and is widely credited with building the Longhorns into a national powerhouse during his tenure.
“We are thrilled to welcome Coach Brown back to the University of Texas,” said UT Athletic Director Chris Del Conte. “His experience, leadership, and passion for the game make him the perfect fit to lead our program during this transition period.”
Sarkisian, who was hired as the Longhorns’ head coach in 2021, had been under fire from fans and alumni after a disappointing start to the season. Despite having a talented roster, the team had struggled to find consistency and had fallen short of expectations in several key games.
“I want to thank Coach Sarkisian for his hard work and dedication to our program,” said Del Conte. “However, we feel that a change in leadership is necessary to get our program back on track.”
Brown, who has been out of coaching since 2013, said he is excited to return to the sidelines and lead the Longhorns.
“I’m thrilled to be back at Texas and to have the opportunity to lead this talented team,” said Brown. “We’ve got a lot of work to do, but I’m confident that we can turn things around and make a run at the Big 12 Championship.”
The move has sent shockwaves throughout the college football world, with many analysts and experts weighing in on the decision.
“This is a huge move for Texas, and it’s a clear indication that the university is committed to winning,” said ESPN college football analyst, Kirk Herbstreit. “Mack Brown is a legendary coach, and he’s got the experience and expertise to turn this program around.”
As the Longhorns prepare to face off against Oklahoma this weekend, fans are eagerly anticipating the return of Coach Brown and the potential impact he can have on the team.
