Hire of Steve Sarkisian will serve as defining decision of Chis Del Conte’s Texas legacy

You can’t overstate how important the hiring of Steve Sarkisian will be to the future of Texas Longhorns football and the overall athletic program.

Obviously, it’s a big decision. You could argue every head coaching move is a “big” decision, but especially one that involves a program that hasn’t won a conference championship in over a decade while simultaneously only reaching 10-wins during a season once.

It’s not important just because of the lack of success that has befuddled the Texas football program nor because Sarkisian has won the national championship twice as an assistant coach, but because of Chris Del Conte.
