Inside Texas HC Steve Sarkisian’s Bold Gamble: How Financial Pressure Fuels a ‘Playoff-or-Bust’ Mindset
That line of thought resulted in multiple head coaches being fired during the 2025 season. Penn State fired James Franklin once it became apparent that the Nittany Lions were not going to make it to the CFP, and LSU moved on from Brian Kelly for the same reason.
Next season, if there is a top team that is underachieving, there is a good chance we could see another stunning firing during the season.
Texas is one of the teams that is under a lot of pressure coming into next season, as the Longhorns might even earn the No. 1 spot in the preseason rankings with Arch Manning at quarterback. That preseason expectation will put even more pressure on Sarkisian and company coming into 2026.
