Since the surprise retirement announcement from Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban on Wednesday, Longhorn Nation has been waiting with bated breath for news of his replacement, hoping that Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian isn’t going to head back to Tuscaloosa, where he spent two stints working under Saban, including a year as an analyst that helped resurrect his flagging coaching career.
The positive indicators are all there for the Longhorns except for the conclusive news, starting with social media activity from Sarkisian and his wife on Thursday evening.
