Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian was a hot name on the NFL coaching circuit a few months ago when there were several intriguing openings. It made sense too. Sarkisian has gone to Texas and brought the Longhorns back to national relevance.

Steve Sarkisian cleared up a number of lingering mysteries that developed during this offseason. Among them, the Texas head football coach, who will enter his fifth season at the helm next August, revealed that he didn’t seriously consider taking an NFL head coach job or earnestly look into one.

Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian was asked about reporting connecting him to NFL jobs in the most recent cycle.

The Longhorns lost the services of several key players at various points in the 2024 season, and many of those key cogs are still recovering from injuries that will affect their availability for spring drills Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said on Monday.

With 27 new players and three new assistants, Sarkisian wants to focus on teaching and development to maintain the culture he’s built on the Forty Acres.

The narrative around no spring games points to tampering as the reason, but Sark insists its a different issue at Texas.
