Archie wants Arch to start multiple years at Texas ... it's the Manning way

Just had a good chat with Lifetime Longhorn Chris Nelson. He's on Jeff Traylor's UTSA staff as the defensive line coach.

That's it for Sark from the podium.

Sark is wrapping up.

They've got Michael Terry III "honed in" on being a wide receiver right now. "Once he can master that, or come close to, we'll let him spread his wings a little bit," he said.

Sark said Moore has had a great summer, "which setting up for a great fall for him," he said.

Sark said you could feel Trey Moore's presence late in the year on third down. They moved him to linebacker to take advantage of his versatility.

Sark said there's a difference between collecting talent and building a team. Relationships allow the Longhorns to build a team and a culture instead of just adding talented players to the roster.

That's the plan.

Thanks for going on the road. Are u guys able to post video here?

Sarkisian says he prioritizes talking with high school head coaches in the world of agents in high school recruiting. Urges HS coaches to remain impactful in the lives of high school recruits and take control of these conversations.

Sark said high school coaches can't throw their hands in the air and accept that agents are involved.

Sark would like to deal with high school coaches more in recruiting. "I think they need to be bullish to not let their role be diminished," he said.

Seems like we got a good one. Enjoyed some of his quotes.

Sark doesn't think the recruiting dynamics going head to head against Texas A&M have changed much since Texas joined the SEC. "We won a couple of critical battles that helped us along the way," he said.

Sarkisian: "We don't chase stars." Added the staff trusts their evaluations and prioritizes fits in the program/culture over anything else.

Sark on the staff's recruiting process: "We don't chase stars."

The last few seasons, Sark said they'd use the third week of camp as a primer for the big non-conference game. This year, they'll start preparing for Ohio State during the third week of camp and stay after it until the game.

Sark said he'll use two full weeks of camp to get ready for Ohio State. It'll be a lot like a bowl game, he said.

TWO seasons in a row of semi finals loses in the red zone. I would hope they are chomping at the bit to get ahold of ohio state.

"I like the hunger of this team."

Sark says there was one player left on the roster who went 5–7 in 2021. And that was Michael Taaffe.
