Overview
- Sarkisian stated he is "not going anywhere" and said he has had no discussions with his agent, Texas officials, other schools or any NFL team about leaving.
- His remarks followed an Instagram video from ESPN’s Desmond Howard suggesting the Texas job could “open up,” which Del Conte dismissed on social media.
- An October report from The Athletic linking Sarkisian to NFL interest was previously denied by his CAA agents as “patently false and wildly inaccurate.”
- Sarkisian urged media to stop amplifying unverified claims and said inquiries about his future should be directed to him or Del Conte.
- Now in his fifth season, Sarkisian is under contract through 2031 at roughly $10.8 million this year, has two children enrolled at Texas, and leads a 7-3 team ranked No. 17 with games left against Arkansas and No. 3 Texas A&M.
