Texas coach Steve Sarkisian does not complete a sideline interview with ESPN reporter Holly Rowe following the Longhorns’ comeback win over Ohio State. In one account, Rowe is trying to conduct a postgame interview when Sarkisian walks away, with observers describing the exchange as abrupt.
One outlet reports that Sarkisian “blows off” the interview after the game, while another describes additional moments during the pre-interview period. That account says Sarkisian is kept waiting at the start of halftime and then proceeds to end the interaction, including shouting a phrase associated with the program (“Texas fight!”), before leaving the interview area.
Across the reports, the shared elements are the setting (a sideline interview attempt by Rowe), the coach’s decision to end the interaction, and the timing (after Texas’ comeback victory). The accounts differ mainly in how they characterize the lead-up and include specific details about what Sarkisian says as he departs.
