Texas’ Steve Sarkisian Ranked Among College Football’s Elite Coaches

The buzz around the Texas Longhorns heading into the 2025 season is louder than ever, with many believing this could finally be the year they break through and win a national championship. After back-to-back seasons of falling just one win short of a title game appearance, expectations are sky-high in Austin.

A major reason for Texas’ success? Head coach Steve Sarkisian. His elite play-calling and dominance on the recruiting trail have positioned the Longhorns as one of college football’s premier programs. And now, Sarkisian is getting national recognition for his work.

Sarkisian Ranked No. 3 Among Top CFB Coaches

According to On3 Sports, Sarkisian is the No. 3 head coach in all of college football heading into 2025. He trails only Kirby Smart (Georgia) and Ryan Day (Ohio State) on the list.

Some may find Smart’s ranking debatable, given Georgia’s struggles in recent seasons, but there’s no denying he built a near-dynasty in Athens. Meanwhile, Day just led Ohio State to a national championship, completing what many consider the most impressive turnaround of the season.

Following Sarkisian on the list:
4️⃣ Kalen DeBoer (Alabama)
5️⃣ Dan Lanning (Oregon)
6️⃣ Marcus Freeman (Notre Dame)
7️⃣ Dabo Swinney (Clemson)
8️⃣ Brian Kelly (LSU)
9️⃣ James Franklin (Penn State)
🔟 Josh Heupel (Tennessee)

Can Sarkisian & Texas Finally Break Through?

With Arch Manning leading the offense, the Longhorns are built to contend. Now, the question remains—can Sarkisian take them all the way?

One thing is certain: the expectations in Austin have never been higher.
