Feelings are starting to settle in for Texas football fans and around the media landscape surrounding expectations for the program this fall after the hire of new head coach Steve Sarkisian. Back on Jan. 2, Texas replaced former fourth-year head coach Tom Herman with Sark, as he is now the fourth person to hold that position in the past decade.

There is a feeling of rejuvenation and excitement on the Forty Acres that wasn’t present the past few offseasons. Herman didn’t post a bad record by any means in the last three seasons, but the volatility he caused on the field and on the recruiting trail largely led to his demise with the Longhorns.
