Bevo’s Daily Roundup: CBS Sports: Texas’ Steve Sarkisian hire deserves an ‘A’ grade

Texas Longhorns officials received an “A” grade from CBS Sports for their hire of Steve Sarkisian to lead the football program.

From CBS Sports: “In one sense, Sark seems a lot like Tom Herman four years ago — the hottest name left on the board. Championship pedigree. Offensive guy. Texas boosters long ago took their shot at Nick Saban (and missed). Just last month, they took a run at Urban Meyer (and missed). Sarkisian is the next best thing — college football’s best play caller fresh off a national championship. Sark has yet to win 10 games in a season or conference title as a head coach. He is being given every possible resource to do so at Texas. If not, he will come full circle and be the next Tom Herman — in a different sense.”
