Texas’ Season Might Be Over, But What Steve Sarkisian Has Built Is Here To Stay

NEW ORLEANS: On Monday night, the Texas Longhorns suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Washington Huskies in the College Football Playoff semi-finals. They had every chance to win the game in a furious last-minute drive. It hurts. It aches. And this season may be coming to an end. However, this is only the beginning for Texas. REFS USA TODAY: STEVE SARKISIANIn Austin, Steve Sarkisian has created something unique. They were a 5-7 football team two years ago. They were 8 to 5 a year later. They were just one incomplete pass away from competing for a national championship in Year 3. entering the SEC in Year 4? They might only be among the top two in the nation at the beginning of the season. This group of Longhorns was far from perfect. There were holes in key spots, a lack of depth elsewhere, and inexperience across the board. Nevertheless, the Horns found ways to win nearly every weekend. And had they buttoned up a couple of mistakes in the second half, they very well could be marching into Houston for a national title shot. But they didn’t and now they are going into the offseason looking to sure up those weak spots.

Even more crucial is the fact that Sarkisian’s creations are long-lasting. With the proper players and the right culture, he has executed it flawlessly.Texas is no longer a programme that will rebuild after this. They’ll fire again. And even with this heartbreaking loss, there is still hope. The SEC is going to be a distinct species. There is a non-conference game against Michigan and big SEC games against Texas A&M, Georgia, and Oklahoma. However, they are designed to traverse it.
