The University of Texas announced it hired Alabama offensive coordinator to be the next head coach of its football program after parting ways with ex-coach Tom Herman.
Sarkisian spoke with reporters Saturday about his new squad.
"I think there's championship talent on this team," Sarkisian said. "Clearly, there's work to be done or a change wouldn't be made."
Sarkisian inherits a Texas program that went 7-3 and finished its season with a 55-23 win over Colorado in the Alamo Bowl.
The talent is there for the Longhorns, whose recruiting class of 2020 ranked eighth on 247Sports' list.
