Texas HC Steve Sarkisian explains heart of Longhorns' culture | Chris Simms Unbuttoned | NFL on NBC

Heart of Longhorn Culture? "We, like all fan bases, do not appreciate prima donna famous-sons-of-NFLers laughing on our sidelines while his team is struggling to win important games." THAT is part of Longhorn Culture and Chrissy may STILL need to have that explained to him.

If it wasn't for Simms, we might not get VY. He was Mack's biggest early recruit.

I still think Mack put Chris in too early. I thought Major had a brilliant QB mind but he simply didn't have the athletic ability to make everything work. Chris was an athlete that was physically capable of so much more than Major but just lacked the experience to know what to do. If we could have put Major's head on Simms body we would have been unstoppable. I always felt bad for Chris because some of the criticism he got at UT simply wasn't fair. I am sure he was happy to win the starting job but I felt like his progress was rushed and he left unfinished. Just my two cents.

"I don't think Texas fans enjoy players who laugh on the sidelines as their teammates are getting beat. There's just something about those optics - even if it was Mack Brown's first (and last) big time recruit. I think that person might be forever stained. Whatcha think, Chrissy?"

Crazy to think of 2 million people mashed together now adays. I remember in 2000 they had bad traffic with not even close to that many people. Not to mention the growth around Austin

01 team was actually special. Would have challenged miami

Much appreciation, Chris. Come to campus!

Chris have you ever read “Meat on the hoof”?

We love you Chris. You got us back going again back in the day!!

Looking good Chris. Nice to see you bud. 🤘🤘🤘

Simms was a good QB for the Longhorns and had a good career in the NFL. I myself have always thought that Colt McCoy was a legendary QB because he’s was part of a national championship winning team and Mack
Brown was HC.

That was awesome!!

I've watched a lot of interviews with Sark over the years and this is one of the best. Chris asks great questions and gets very real and honest answers. Does Sark have some kind of filter on in his video? It looks a little weird or too polished.

As a Bama fan it's taken me a while to forgive Simms and Sarkisian 🤣. Great interview!

Gross

I knew Sark when he was at BYU. He was intense, yet kind to others. He was a very good qb, regularly broke the Ute's hearts.

Chris sim’s wishes his career was as good as arch’s will be

I have a stiffy

we got lots of respect for you chris

come see us in Austin

Chris Simms Longhorn Legend 🤘🏻

Love seeing a Saskatchewan Roughriders legend on the show!

James Brown began it. That brought in Priest Holmes, Ricky Williams and the likes....

Love hearing Chris Simms and his love for the Longhorns. Need him on 3rd and Longhorn

Look at Hutson he was the first of the 2022 OL to commit and get into McCombs Business school and graduates in May 2025. He also has started and backed up and stayed because of the Culture and wanting to be a great teammate and play football on the greatest stage in College Football. Loyalty, Commitment and Execute on the field the classroom and in the Texas community.

Simms definitely raised the bar at Texas

Chris Simms needs to visit Austin more often. Bring your whole family!

🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Absolutely love Chris Simms’ pride in being a Longhorn after the garbage way our fans have treated him over the years.

Hook Em Chris 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Love you Chris! 🤘

I am sure other coaches in the SEC tells their recruits that "When you come here, we don't care if you are competitive, we are not like Texas".

sark needs to lose the filter. =)

Great interview and come back to Austin anytime Chris 🤘

Chris, we Longhorns love you! Thanks for all that you did for us!

Chris… go back to Austin. I understand but get back there.🤠🤘🏼

texas football is olympic level, no joke. Ive trained with olympians.

3 most important recruits in modern Texas history are simms (changed the perception of the program), VY (obvious) and ewers (re-established the program, gave sark credibility)... and a lot of Texas fans treat 2 of them poorly. boggles my mind

🤘

Simms is a good guy 💯

🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿

MAJOR APPLEWHITE HAD THE STONES / SIMMS HAD THE DADDY

Simms one of the best Texas qbs of all-time 🤘🏼

Jahdael Barron was recruited by Tom Herman so don't tell me that Herman did not recruit character.

HOOKEM HORNS

Tom Herman recruited good students. They were good kids. Herman just could not call plays.

I like Chris' brother more.

Love this interview and both of these guys. Makes me proud.

I would love to see Chris back on the 40 Acres someday. I know his time in Texas was tough, but he is a Longhorn and always will.

Hook em Chris!!!

Yea a culture centered around yelling at stadium workers up in their face for doing their job. People don't forget disrespect coach.

🐂🤘🇨🇱🤠

Chris Simms doesn't know this team.
