Texas Coaches: Arch Manning Looks SHELL-SHOCKED

Jeff Howe, Bobby Burton, Bob Shipley and Brian Erwin explain why Texas can no longer win a championship without making major offensive changes. The coaches break down how the Longhorns moved the ball effectively on their opening script before abandoning the perimeter throws, screens, jet action and running concepts that worked. They also examine the alarming number of unblocked defenders and why Steve Sarkisian must adapt his offense to the players he has.

The panel debates whether Arch Manning has become “shell-shocked,” pointing to his problems recognizing pressure, anticipating open receivers and trusting his instincts. Coach Irwin also argues that Sark’s dual role as head coach and offensive coordinator is beginning to damage his game management, including two failed fourth-down attempts that helped Florida score 21 points. Is it time for Texas to hire an offensive coordinator and let Sark focus on leading the entire program?
