Before the 2020 season, new Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian appeared at a coaches clinic for an in-depth discussion of his offensive philosophy, how it’s changed over the years, and how he builds his offense around run-pass options.
During that clinic, Sarkisian described how he builds his offenses, illustrating two one-pass option plays, two play-action concepts, and two drop-back concepts.
With Sarkisian serving as the offensive coordinator for Alabama for the final time in Monday’s national championship game, it’s worth looking at some of those concepts to have a better understanding of what Sarkisian wants to accomplish and the plays he uses towards that goal.
