Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is staying with the Longhorns long-term. Sarkisian agreed to a contract extension that keeps him in Texas through 2031, per multiple reports.
The 50-year-old head coach has reportedly been fielding interest from NFL teams, but opted to uphold his commitment to Texas instead of join the pros. The seven-year deal adds a year to his previous contract extension, which he signed last February and which gave him $10.6 million a year .
The new extension reportedly includes a raise to an already lucrative deal, per ESPN"s Pete Thamel . Sarkisian was already the third-highest paid coach in the sport, behind Clemson"s Dabo Swinney and Georgia"s Kirby Smart.
