Since Sam Pittman was fired on Sept. 28, names from every corner of the coaching landscape have surfaced as potential replacements for Arka

The No. 17 Texas Longhorns pulled their starters and lost some style points against Arkansas, preferring to rest for the critical regular-season finale against No. 3 Texas A&M.

The Texas Longhorns (7-3) return home on Saturday afternoon looking to rebound from a resounding loss when they host the Arkansas Razorbacks (2-8), who have lost eight straight games and are 0-6 in the Southeastern Conference.

No. 17 Texas took a tumble down the College Football Playoff Rankings following last week's 35-10 loss at Georgia. The Longhorns fell seven spots in the poll, and now find themselves in serious danger of being left out of the College Football Playoff this season. This is the reality of any team with three losses.

ESPN reporter Pete Thamel reported during the Razorbacks' game at Texas that Arkansas' search for a new coach is nearing its end. What Thamel said:

Arkansas Razorbacks legend Dan Hampton has been announced as a special guest celebrity at the First Ever 23rd Annual World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade in downtown Hot Springs on March 17, with actress Carmen Electra as the grand marshal and American Ninja Warrior host Matt Iseman as official starter.

Texas coach and play caller Steve Sarkisian fooled the Arkansas defense with Manning on the end-around before wide receiver Parker Livingstone floated the ball back to Manning in the corner of the end zone.
