The Washington job was a total reclamation project. Most people don't remember that the Huskies were 12-47 (including 0-12 in 2008) in the 5 seasons before Sarkisian took over in 2009.

In his 5 years there, Washington was 35-29, with 4 bowls. He set the stage for Chris Petersen's success there.

I think that the Texas job may be a bit of a rebuild (not like Washington, of course), and that success may be delayed until 2023.
