Steve Sarkisian wins AP All-Big 12 Coach of the Year

Steve Sarkisian has led Texas to the College Football Playoff in his third year at the helm.

Steve Sarkisian was the only one deserving of the AP All-Big 12 Coach of the Year award, and no other coach should have come close.

After an 8-5 season in 2022, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian led the 2023 Texas Longhorns to a 12-1 record, a Big 12 championship and a College Football Playoff berth.

Texas has always had talent on the field, but what makes this Longhorns team different is the locker room presence that Sark creates. This is what he had to say about his connection with the players.

“The biggest thing I reflect on even now being in the locker room and greeting every player coming in is my connection with these guys.”

Sarkisian’s elite offensive mind also puts the Longhorns over the edge as one of the nation’s best teams. They averaged 36 points and nearly 500 yards per game.

The third-year head coach has put Texas in prime position to win its fifth national championship. If anybody can do it, the 2023 Longhorns can.

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns will play in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1 against the No. 2 Washington Huskies in the semifinals.
