Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers is projected to be a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach turned ESPN analyst Nick Saban can see why. While at the 2024 SEC Football Media Days, the legendary Alabama head coach shared a few thoughts on Ewers’s trajectory, calling him a ‘classic NFL quarterback.’ “He is a classic NFL quarterback, he’s playing in an NFL system, Sark does a great job. He’s gonna read the defense, process the information quickly,” said Saban. “He’s very accurate; he can throw the deep ball, and he can put the ball on guys where ...

In November 2021, Quinn Ewers looked on as Ohio State made it to Ann Arbor for “The Game” against Michigan. He didn’t play that day, but he saw the passion of the two fan bases in one of college football’s top rivalries. After that season, Ewers entered the transfer portal and returned to his home state when he committed to Steve Sarkisian at Texas. But he’ll head back to The Big House one more time this year when the Longhorns and Wolverines square off in a Week 2 showdown. That experience as a true freshman will likely help Ewers when he returns to Ann Arbor. After all, he didn’t say “Michig...

Nick Saban’s rep as the Alabama head coach — at least in terms of sideline and practice demeanor — was not one of being terribly cuddly. From red-faced hollering at assistants to a broken headset here and there, Saban’s ire for mistakes was well documented. But one of his former assistants and current Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian knows there’s a lot more to the man than sideline histrionics — or even football mastery in the meeting room. Speaking with Paul Finebaum at SEC Media Days, Sarkisian delved into a far less-known part of Saban’s persona, and that of his wife, Terry Saban. “I see t...

On Jan. 10, 2024 both Pete Carroll and Nick Saban announced their retirement from coaching after spending decades on top of the industry. To Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, their nearly simultanious retirements hit him a little bit differently than many other coaches in the industry. Spending time on both Carroll’s staff at USC and Saban’s staff at Alabama, both men not only had profound impacts on the trojectory of Sarkisian’s career, but they helped mold him into the man he is today outside of the game. “The impact they had on my life, nevermind as a coach but as a man, but also as a coach...

Quinn, good to see you. I wanted to ask you, the OU-Texas games, the rivalry, crazy things happen every year. I want to take you back to last year’s game. Is that an example of how we look back at the series for the last five, six years. It can come down to the wire. Is that an example of what this series can do, anything can happen? QUINN EWERS: Yeah, for sure. With rivalries like that, I mean, anything...

Dating back to his days at Alabama, Steve Sarkisian has been strict with his wide receiver rotation. Only three, maybe four guys would see the field during games. Guys like John Metchie had to wait on the sideline while others shined in Tuscaloosa. The same was true for Texas this last season. Rarely would you see Xavier Worthy, AD Mitchell, or Jordan Whittington leave the field for somebody else. Sarkisian kept his rotation tight as those three were not only the best players but also had great chemistry with Quinn Ewers. Sarkisian is not going to have the same luxury heading into the 2024 sea...
