The SEC media days are taking place in Atlanta, Georgia this week.
In unsurprising fashion, the Texas Longhorns were the topic of a few conversations. Alabama head coach Nick Saban and starting quarterback Bryce Young were asked about Steve Sarkisian’s impact in Tuscaloosa and his tenure at Texas thus far among other things.
The duo had nothing but positive things to say about Texas’ second-year head coach and clearly have high hopes for what he will accomplish in Austin over the coming years.
Saban even went as far as tabbing him “one of the finest coaches we’ve ever had on staff,” while Young reflected on being recruited by Sarkisian at Alabama.
