Texas HC Steve Sarkisian - Play Calling Flow & Empty Thought Process
Play Calling Flow
- "I think there is a real gut/real instinct to calling plays. You have to trust your gut."
- "There is a gut instinct involved that then ultimately gives you a flow to what you're doing. Because you're feeling the game rather than being a robot just reading off the call sheet."
Empty Thought Process
- Help the QB ID coverage/pressure
- RB/TE location creates DEF indicator
- Empty Menu vs premium looks
“I believe in you, but you gotta want this moment.”
True coaching isn't always quiet. It’s about meeting an athlete’s intensity with your own, demanding excellence because you care about their growth more than their comfort in the moment.
That’s the work.

Always been taught that this is such a great time (5-10 min) for coaches to be on the move at the beginning of practice...
Just talking & laughing with your players...all about the relationships👍
