PFF just released its official rankings for this year's crop of Head Coaches, and Steve Sarkisian is ranked 6th-best out of 134 of his peers.

Though you always want your Head Coach to be ranked higher, it seems like the correct spot for Sark heading into the 2025 season.

He has an incredibly mixed bag of reviews when it comes to the national media, most not being a fan of him due to his unfortunate problem of "choking" in big games, or being criticized for not using the correct players or personnel from time to time.

Regardless of those things, he has almost a 70% career win percentage at Texas and has an overall record of 25-5 in the last two seasons despite moving to a harder conference recently. He's also well-liked by other coaches and is known for being an "offensive guru" in certain aspects of the game.

If the Longhorns are able to make it to and win the National Championship this season, he'll undoubtedly move up a few spots here
