Steve Sarkisian says that if he got a do-over to his interaction with ESPN reporter after Texas' win over Ohio State, 'I would have exuded more patience in the moment'
Sarkisian's viral interaction ultimately led to an apology from Arch Manning after the QB said he thought an AI edit of the moment was funny.
Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian expressed regret on Thursday about his brief postgame interaction with ESPN reporter Holly Rowe following the Longhorns' victory over Ohio State. Sarkisian rushed off the field to celebrate with his team instead of staying for the interview, which later led to an apology from quarterback Arch Manning.
"If hindsight’s 20-20, if I could do it all over again, I would have exuded more patience in that moment and sat through and waited for the interview with Holly," Sarkisian stated. Sarkisian emphasized the strong relationship he and ESPN share, as well as his appreciation for the network's support. He also addressed Manning's apology, affirming that the program and Manning do not condone domestic violence or violence against women.
