Ahead of this weekend’s spring game, Ryan, Fred, and Channing visited one of college football’s historic programs, the University of Texas, and are sitting down with head coach, Steve Sarkisian for a layered conversation about almost losing it all to climbing back to the top, mending bonds with family, interracial marriage and the future of Texas football.
Never allowing failures to define your future has become the message Sarkisian spreads to his players, coaches and those around him. Known as one of the most dynamic and successful college football coaches under the Nick Saban tree, Sarkisian turned his low moments into lessons and his opportunities into a success story.
After being fired from USC in 2015 mid season, Sarkisian sought treatment for alcoholism and worked to overcome personal struggles. Not being able to find any coaching job and about to give up and turn into a different career path, Sark received a call from Nick Saban who saw something in him to give him a shot.
Embracing his second chance to the fullest, Sarkisian opens up on how his own trials and tribulations have helped made him navigate coaching and relationships with more of an open mind. Becoming the head coach of University of Texas football team in 2022, he makes it known that Nick Saban saved his career and he wouldn’t be where he is today without Saban’s grace, which is why he chooses to extend the same courtesy to others on this journey.
Sarkisian credits his positive outlook and bouncing back to the unconditional support from his now wife, Loreal. The two have set the tone for positivity and added flare to college football, creating an unlikely dynamic that people have gravitated towards.
NIL and the transfer portal have been big topics throughout college athletics and one that our very own, Fred Taylor feels very strongly about. Fred asks Sarkisian about his perspective on NIL and the transfer portal and as a head coach how he combats this during recruitment. Steve talks about the tool of adaptability and finding the positives in change. Promoting a philosophy of not allowing players to come back to the team if they've entered the transfer portal, Sark believes they’ve maintained a steady program at Texas due to transparency and truly selling that playing for Texas is a 40-50 year decision rather than a 4-5 year decision.
The future of Texas lies in the hands of a familiar name- Arch Manning will be joining the Longhorns this year and looks to follow in the footsteps of being a star quarterback like his uncles Peyton and Eli. Tune into a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Sark is a genuine dude. I never had any doubts about what this man brings to UT. He is putting Texas through growing pains, process changes, etc. I can't think of a better man to bring an institution and people forward than this man; a man that has had to rebuild, gone through the growing pains himself and can relate so genuinely. There are many reasons recruits gravitated to Sark and the results will come.
Lol.
Man is a mediocre coach at best.
As a USC Trojan fan...I agree! Sark Paid the Price, Overcame the Struggle, became Professionally Re-born! America has Always Appreciated the Comeback Story!! That, in Trojan Lingo...is Fighting On!! ✌✌✌
@@catsailor8621 you are absolutely right. Things happened in Sark's life. Whether it was his fault or not, we will never know and frankly, it is none of our business. Nevertheless, he took his medicine, became a better man, better coach, better leader and my Longhorns are going to be better for it.
@@charlesshankle3178 CFB is Better When the Longhorns and the Other Blue Bloods are at the Top of Their Game Simultaneously! Hook ‘Em…(Except Against USC)!! 😄 👊🍻
@@catsailor8621 I agree and I wish y'all well except when you play my Longhorns. By the way, I looked at SC for my MBA but got accepted at Northwestern
Ryan loves to see people talk about their family. You can tell he loves his own family with his whole heart
Is that the reason?
Absolutely
He definitely decided along time ago he was going to be a dad and dude spent his life studying being a dad just as much as a ball player. Great dads build themselves up to be a father
Ryan is really a lost person to be honest with you
@@shailonnoelle7175 tube really truly a great dad you got to take Jesus Christ as your lord and savior and put him first and put that in your kid's life first and not just talk about it anybody could talk about being a good Christian man in my opinion and just cuz you could quote a couple of quotes in the Bible don't mean your good Christian man I believe in Freedom religion but as a Christian man that's what you come first and you could tell somebody's a real Christian really easy to paying attention to it lots of people that go to church don't know Christ and lots of people to read the Bible don't know Christ
This may be the best interview with a coach I’ve ever seen. I’m not a Texas fan but I walked away genuinely liking Sark. Great job guys!
Shoutout to the Pivot for this interview!! I’m a Sooner fan and I have to give a Coach Sark his props!! Great job on his recovery as a man and Coach!!
Exactly 💯
ClassySooner! Props. Hook’em.
Respect to you, kind sir.
Appreciate the kind words!! The Game of Life, like Being a Good Man is more important than any allegiance we have as Fans of our teams!
Props for what? He's never won anything as a head coach
I love how he talks about his wife how he uplifts his queen. Inspiring ❤
She uplifts him and vice versa. I love that👍👍
Thats what a married couple is supposed to do. Uplift each other, teamwork.
And shout out to his wife for looking so damn fine!
Teamwork with your spouse makes the dream work!
@@AJXOXO-vz1pn she, looks like she is auditioning for "Real HouseWifes" with the Gaudy outfits she wears on gameday.
That Texas team was absolutely loaded with NFL talent. Like crazy loaded.
Then why oh why are they 13-12 in 2 years?
They are loaded
@@mikegray5826 Pretty sure @L J was talking about the 2005 Texas team.
Absolutely loved this! Knowing his story and why he got fired and as a fellow man in recovery. When I saw there was an interview with Sarkisian, I couldn't wait to get off work to see this. Great questions, men! I'm definitely interested in subscribing to this channel now.
"I couldn't wait to get off"? Really, "I couldn't wait to get off", ONly thing that gets me "Off" about sarkisian is that stupid assistant coach he brought with him named blanks whose girlfriends MONKEY bit the kid at the Halloween party, Now that "Gets Me OFF" "GET THAT BALL and HOLD THAT BALL and DON"T LET IT GO" lol.
He's very well spoken and charismatic. Intelligent
Dawn Staley should be a high priority guest for this show
Agreed. But knowing them, its in the works but it’s probably a scheduling issue. I had a podcast a few years ago and getting the guest’s schedules to fit was always the hardest part.
@@kwicksand12 makes sense I hope it gets done
Absolutely!!
Top of the list.
I see no lies told👍
What a great interview! You go deep with him like no one else has and you did it with class! This is my first time watching your channel, but I’m impressed with what you guys do. AWESOME!!
Thank you Melanie for your input. My guts are hurting from laughing at your comment, "You go deep with him like no one else has". I am sure that probably will upset the Mrs sark since word is she often PEGS Captain Play Caller.
@@mikegray5826 🤮
I really enjoyed this interview! I’m a BAMA grad, and I always wondered what Coach Saban saw in Sark to keep bringing him in. Now, I see! The questions you guys asked him really helped me get to see him for who he really is. AND, I had no idea his wife was a sister!
A sister that can dress, and she dresses him game day. 🤗
What a great interview. Hats off to Chan, Fred and Ryan. Coack Sark is definitely a beautiful soul ❤️🙏🏽
My respect for Sark just went thru the roof. Rooting for him and UT!!
Sark is just that dude. Glad he’s our head coach 🤘
Amen 🤘
Agreed. Dudes a genius, bust most of all, a recovering addict. Unless youve been there, folks really can never quite know the strength that you get from overcoming addiction.
That dude that's really never won anything as a head coach that dude but it gets stuff done this year or he'll be on a hot seat that dude is a lot of talk and not much action that do lost to Oklahoma State and Texas Tech
I see Sark differently now, he's really s solid dude. His authenticity just made me a Sark fan!!
Sark is the man! He has truly turned himself around and that is much harder than people realize. Props to coach Sark. 🤘🏼
The man? Lol delusional
Most people don’t get the opportunity
This guy is someone who appreciates the opportunity he has and has a strong woman that supports him and is there for the good times and bad. What else could a man ever want? Seems like he's going to kill it at Texas
Even if you've never heard of football, there are a lot of great lessons here. Outstanding interview.
Hook em. Sark says all the right things and all the pieces like recruits and depth are coming in place. Now time to win the conference and sniff the playoffs.
That’s not going to happen.
Not in the SEC
Texas will be in the SEC championship year one. Fight me
@@BevoGuy be real bro…
As a USC Trojan Fan I am so happy for Coach. He has been through so much personally and professionally. God is good and it has manifested in his life. God's Speed Coach Sark.
Nice thought keneti; however, grammatically you just wrote, "God Is Speed Coach Sark", which taken in context is confusing but realizing it is sark he may very well be a "Speed Tweaker" in a very short time. Blessed be to ALL!!!!
As a UDub fan it's awesome to see how much Sark has matured over the years. Want to hate this guy but.... HOOK EM HORNS 🤘
I love the Pivot and their interviews. I think we need Mrs. Terry Saban. I think it's time that the world hear from her because that lady is truly a beast at what she does at Alabama. Dawn Stanley and Tom Brady and Julio Jones...and the reason I say these is because I know with the questions yall ask the interviews will be great!!!
Sark will have Texas bad. Dude is a good one and genuine. He’s next up great interview
2 years 13-12, yes the Glory Years are Upon US!!!!!
@@mikegray5826 best years are upon us. His recruits are just now going to get pt.Hes attracting top qbs top linemen and top receivers and recently got the top linebacker to flip to Texas.
@@romanmoralesqb1 Respectfully! Dominicroman3, NIL NIL NIL NIL, that is the MAJOR reason they line up for RACIST ut to play ball. The over/under for sark imploding is still 1.5 years. Hopefully it won't be as bad as USC when he had to be REMOVED from the PRACTICE field.
I'm campaigning for these guys to reach 1Million viewers. THE PIVOT PODCAST IS THE BEST: no junk no mess. I watch every interview and those I never heard of I even enjoy.
Longhorn fan so that's what attracted me but I needed to listen to Sark. Going through a storm and working through it. Needed that positivity. God is on time with this one.
Coach Shark finna get soooo many recruits from this episode!!
And he still a sorry coach
@@512Dru 💀
This was an excellent interview. Keep up the excellent interviews.
When Sark left Bama for Texas...my heart hurt for some days...that dude is special as a play caller..His journey reminds us that you just have to keep pushing no matter what it looks like. No obstacle is insurmountable. Wish all the best for him except for Sept. 9...
"play caller"? hmmm, yes he was a "special play caller" at bama. he had talent that was 2 deep with NFL players all over the field. How is his "play calling" the last 2 years at Texas? 13-12, overall record, 59-47.
. Yup we got a winner.
🤘
@@mikegray5826 You must have missed the Bill O'Brien experiment lol
No doubt. In my opinion, Sark was the best we had at Bama… but I’m happy for him to keep doing his thing as a head coach.
@@chrismorrison5499 I think he’s second best to me. kiffin was a better OC imo he produced just as much on offense with much less talent
Hoook’Em! Texas will surprise ppl this year🤘🏽
Best podcast hands down. Keep em coming guys.
Channing funny! The way he threw shade at Nick Saban like that… “he talks to you like a kid”
He’s really been there ,done that when it comes to Fball 👊 inspirational🙌
That’s my coach, Coach Sark 🤘🏾🤘🏾
Let’s get Coach Freeze on! He is super transparent about his past. Would open up a whole new market for you guys. Love the show! War Eagle!
As a Texas fan, I’m disappointed they couldn’t keep going. Great episode.
Fantastic Interview. Happy Birthday Coach. Hook Em Forever
These dudes are killing it. This and Club Shay, best things out there
DANG ! He really is a "Good Dude" ... HOOK 'EM HORNS ! ....
Awesome interview fellas. The Pivot Podcast is definitely gaining traction 👍🏿
Awesome I interview!!! Keep them coming PIVOT!! I love you!!
I met Coach Sark a couple of times while he was in Atlanta and he is a great guy. He unfairly took the blame when the problem was a bad front office and bad personnel moves. I have been through my own second and third chances. I am an LSU guy but I am a Coach Sark fan.
Good point Mr Bill; however, I do not necessarily agree that your 2nd/3rd chance should be THE UNIVERSITY of TEXAS or LSU etc... How about Barton Community College as your 2nd and 3rd Chance. This dude in 13-12 after 2 years at Texas, TEXAS. Ya really think "Ol Shucks Manning" is going to improve on the mess that IS ut football?
definitely a scape goat in ATL. And I was a loud fan that wanted him gone after year 1. He earned that job
@@mikegray5826 smh...you obviously got nothing from that interview.
@@allenyoung3483 the clowns at 92.9 wanted him fired the day before he got hired. They blocked me so many times on Twitter for calling them out.
Man I miss those lendale white and Reggie bush days😢 they was thunder and lightning it was pure nostalgia listening to coach talk bout em
Another great interview 🔥🔥🔥
I love this interview with Coach Sarkisian. Is it possible to get an interview with Coach Saban (Bama’s Head Coach)? As a result of Coach Sarkisian's interview, I would love to hear his thoughts on being a successful coach and why he feels compelled to give players and coaches second chances. I would also like to hear his thoughts on Crowder getting him a striper at rookie camp. Thanks!
😂😂😂 you really didn’t need to further explain who coach saban is. We’re familiar.
@John Brooks I came here to say this! 😂
Great interview! Love seeing the coaches perspective
I love seeing a strong powerful interracial relationship i am astonished that coach is married to a strong black women😊👏🏾👏🏾 that’s tuff
Why is that tough? Black male coaches are married to White women and nobody ever says it’s tough!
Tuff is a good thing meaning that’s sick or awesome. Not necessarily meaning “difficult”
How is that tough? We live in a integrated Society they have interracial couples everyday as a Christian man I want my wife to be a good Christian woman and have good Christian values I believe in freedom of religion but as a Christian man I want a Christian woman race should have nothing to do with that
@@gregorycurran5451 yea exactly
Coach Sark! 🙌🏾 thanks for all you did at Bama 💪🏾
I gotta applaud Sark for picking himself back up and being a respected and proven coach where he rightly belongs!
coach sarkisian is a great man
Keep doing what you do, fellas. You're the best in the game. Period. Love from NC.
They need Rex Ryan on the pivot!!
i watched this before the 2023 season started. Now i'm back to re-watch before we play Washington in the Sugar Bowl
Great Interview!!! Fellas y’all doing a great job 👏🏽 I Love The Pivot Podcast
Lawd y'all are something else in the best way. I just love me some Ryan, Fred and Channing. You boys are the greatest!!!
Love ya Coach. I learn a lot today looking at this Video. I miss you at Bama. But wishes you the best of luck at Texas. I am.learning how to be a good coach. I been doing it in Semi-Pro for 12 years now. And I love to see how you rebound and get your just do!
One of the first things that caught my attention when our Back to Back Directors cup Champ Del Conte athletic director hired Sark was when Coach Sark said he cab vision hinself here for over 15 years at the 40 Acres...i said this is our Coach...
Congrats on a well done show....
Loved your sincerity and love for interviewing...
🙏
Loved this so much!! Making me a t-shirt - “I’m a good dude!” He truly is!! 🧡🤘🏼🤘🏼🧡
🥰❤️she’s gorgeous many blessings to you both! Great interview!

Channing is funny ASF 😂😂😂😂 HE WENT TO JAIL 3 TIME WITH NA DOLLAR 😫😫😫😫😫
Gotta hear his jail story, funniest sh*t ever
😅😅😅
@@sheemalmighty I've heard it .... I love his energy
Good interview. I turned 49 today. So I’m looking to “lap em” also
Coach Sark a real one!! 🫶🏿🫶🏿
Please bring Dawn Staley to the show
Ryan and guys, this is a top chop interview. I’m so pleased, as a lifetime Longhorn fan, to see this couple at our helm. Spouses are incredibly important in stable programs. The NIL helps, no question. Other big programs have big resources too. The organization is set. They are recruiting good men. Watch the interviews with the players. Good people. I root for this guy. He hit rock bottom. He is rising up. That is a good story. Keep cooking!
Great interview!! Coach I'm a fan!!
Y’all got the best podcast out here.
Fire episode rooting for Texas
