Brian Kelly says Steve Sarkisian, not Arch Manning, bears responsibility for the Texas Longhorns' offensive struggles in Austin this season.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center on criticism of Steve Sarkisian and on Arch Manning being urged away from Texas, with Newsweek framing it as an ex-NFL quarterback urging Manning to distance himself from the coach. Fox News differs by foregrounding Brian Kelly and explicitly saying he blames Sarkisian, not Manning, for Texas’ offensive struggles. The shared focus is on separating Manning from the coach; the named source and emphasis vary by outlet.
