Texas' Steve Sarkisian couldn't dream of CFP after '15 firing​

Steve Sarkisian said Sunday there was a moment in time when he thought he would never make it to the College Football Playoff, reflecting on his journey with Texas during the final coaches news conference before the CFP semifinal against Washington at the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

Sarkisian pointed specifically to the months following his dismissal from USC in 2015 when asked whether there was a point where he felt making it this far in a season would ever be possible.

"Hell, yeah, I did," Sarkisian said. "I was out of work. Couldn't get an interview, never mind a job, never mind thinking about the College Football Playoff. Sure, it did. I think that's what makes part of this journey with this team this year probably so gratifying.

"So I think part of that puts things into perspective in that you appreciate the opportunities that you get. You appreciate the people that you're around every day. And you try to pour into those people. And when you pour into them, sometimes you get results like this, and you get on teams like this, and you get to be part of special seasons like this."

Just sayin': You do have to give Sarkisian credit having his alcohol addiction under control and turning his life around.

Just sayin': I'm guessing LSU just upped their NIL offer to get him.

Speaking of Syfy it's their annual new year's Twilight Zone marathon. When the football ends tomorrow, I shall indulge.

Poker became a sport when women realized they had the power to beat any man at it.

Figured this game would be way too close, glad they pulled it out though. This woulda gone down as a bad bad loss at the end of the year If they are on the bubble

• Played in five games in 2022, three games in 2021 and one in 2020
• Also played in two games as a true freshman in 2019 before redshirting

Honors & Awards
2022: OSU Scholar-Athlete; Academic All-Big Ten
2021: OSU Scholar-Athlete; Academic All-Big Ten
2020: OSU Scholar-Athlete

Just sayin': Looks like an outstanding STUDENT-Athlete. He's listed as a 3rd string red shirt Senior at DT behind guys that are (probably) coming back. He came in in 2019, so I believe that he will get a 6th (i.e. COVID) year. I'll say he gave it his best shot over the last 5 years and isn't likely to start for the Buckeyes in 2024 either. Hopefully he can latch on to a school where he will be able to get more playing time and I wish him the best.

GTFOH, if you wanted to go to ORegon because you knew youd see the field easier just say that

Sounds like he had a solid year for Kentucky….he’s flashed a few times today against Clemson.

I’m sure there is in college station. But I’m not too familiar with those parts. I know @Nutriaitch lives somewhere out in Texas so he probably would know about it.

Slidell is closer to College Station than I am.

So Kill was six games over .500 at NMSU (17-11). The six previous coaches there were 185 games under .500.

Kill is the only NMSU coach to ever lose a bowl game. They are 4-1-1 in bowls, all time. Yeah, I'm bored.

Time well spent imo.

This is the kind of stuff I'd absolutely smash but, at this age, I'd have heartburn for two days.

Slow start but it finished a lot better. Nice little holiday break for the boys now
