Texas QB Arch Manning Gets Bench Warning From Nick Saban

The Texas Longhorns have received a blunt assessment of quarterback Arch Manning’s job security from legendary former Alabama coach Nick Saban. Saban suggested that the possibility of being benched could provide some much-needed motivation for Manning following an inconsistent stretch that has threatened Texas’ College Football Playoff aspirations. Speaking on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show” on Friday, Oct. 30, the seven-time national championship-winning coach addressed the quarterback’s uncertain situation under Steve Sarkisian. Saban believes the Longhorns could benefit from keeping the possibility of a quarterback change on the table, particularly if Manning struggles to maintain consistency.
