“Sarkisian needs to be fired”: CFB fans harshly react to possibility of Quinn Ewers returning to Texas as QB1 amid Arch Manning chatter

The Texas Longhorns will face the Clemson Tigers this weekend in the first round of the College Football Playoff. But Quinn Ewers, the Longhorns' likely starter at quarterback, comes into this game with his future in doubt.

There's a possibility that he will declare for the NFL draft. But he could also transfer to another program for his senior year. The two options are the best for the Longhorns, as they want to commit to Arch Manning as the starter for next year.

Here is how college football fans have responded to the future of Quinn Ewers on social media.

These fans do not want Ewers to return to Texas next year.

"(Texas coach Steve) Sarkisian needs to be fired if this dude stays QB1 next season if he stays," a user wrote.

"Not a fan of Ewers, Texas should be playing Manning," another responded.

These fans discussed where Ewers would go if he entered the 2025 NFL draft.

"In this current draft class he would not go un drafted," a fan posted.

"Well, then, if some teams have a second round grade, they will pick him in the second round," another fan commented.

"I doubt he’d go undrafted but he’s definitely going to drop hard," another posted.

Finally, these fans believe that Ewers should remain in college but transfer to a different school.

"If he has eligibility to play he should transfer and play to help his stock," a fan wrote.

"Ewers should remain in college n maximize the NIL money 💰 I do not think he will be a productive qb in nfl," another posted.

Texas Longhorns: Quarterback situation

Quinn Ewers is the starting quarterback for fourth-ranked Texas (11-2) as they host 13th-ranked Clemson (10-3) in the College Football Playoff on Saturday. However, Ewers has underperformed ever since coming back from his injury.

During that time in September, backup quarterback and five-star prospect Arch Manning took the starting role and impressed many fans. Since then, Manning has played alongside Ewers and has especially been used for his running abilities, something that Ewers has struggled with due to his ankle injury.

Now, there is a lot of pressure on Texas coach Steve Sarkisian to involve Manning more in the Longhorns' playoff run. Fans see him as pivotal for the future success of the program, while Ewers is seen as a liability who could make a simple mistake that could cost the Longhorns a championship.
