Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian was the hottest name on the NFL coaching radar, with two teams eyeing him for their top job. But in a move that has stunned the sports world, Sarkisian has made it crystal clear: his future lies in Austin.
According to insider Bret McMurphy, Sarkisian has sealed the deal with Texas, signing a massive contract extension after turning down NFL interviews. Sources reveal that Texas Athletic Director Chris Del Conte and Board of Regents chairman Kevin Eltife played key roles in locking him down.
In his four years at Texas, Sarkisian has proven he’s the real deal, leading the Longhorns to two consecutive College Football Playoff semifinals with a stellar 38-17 record, including an eye-popping 25-5 over the last two seasons.
Though his previous contract already ran through 2030, paying him over $10 million a year, the terms of this new deal are shrouded in mystery. But here’s the twist: with this extension, Sarkisian could vault to the top of the coaching pay scale, potentially surpassing Georgia’s Kirby Smart as college football’s highest-paid coach. Get ready, Texas fans—Sarkisian is in it to win it!
