Ex-NFL QB Urges Arch Manning to Distance Himself From TX HC Steve Sarkisian

More professionals are coming forward to say that Manning should stay in school another year — but not at Texas.

Current NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky recently advised Arch Manning to reconsider his decision to return to Texas for his senior season, suggesting that he should instead focus on improving his draft stock by distancing himself from Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian. Orlovsky's comments came after Manning, who has thrown for 1,295 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions in six games, has struggled, losing consecutive games to Oklahoma and Florida.

Sports writer Pete Prisco echoed Orlovsky's sentiment, stating that Manning should explore different systems if he returns to school, as his current performance at Texas might indicate issues with the Longhorns' coaching. Analyst Ran Carthon even suggested that Manning could find a better fit at Miami, noting the Hurricanes' track record of developing successful quarterbacks in recent years.
