University of Texas coach Steve Sarkisian was expected to receive NFL interest, and indeed, he apparently did.
Bret McMurphy of The Action Network reports that Sarkisian turned down a chance to interview with two NFL teams. Instead, Sarkisian will remain at Texas with a contract extension.
It is the second contract extension in two years for Sarkisian, who saw his base salary jump from $5.8 million to $10.3 million in February 2024. Sarkisian’s buyout was $6 million, but it is not yet known whether that will increase in the extension.
Sarkisian, 50, is 38-17 in four seasons since replacing Tom Herman in Austin. The Longhorns played in back-to-back College Football Playoffs the past two seasons.
Sarkisian has NFL experience, coaching the Raiders’ quarterbacks in 2004 and serving as the Falcons’ offensive coordinator in 2017-18. That, along with his success at Texas, made him a viable candidate for NFL head coaching jobs.
