Steve Sarkisian agreed to a new contract extension with Texas after declining multiple NFL interviews, according to Action Network’s Brett McMurphy.
“Steve Sarkisian agrees to contract extension w/Texas after declining interviews w/2 NFL teams, sources said,” McMurphy wrote on Twitter.“UT Board of Regents chairman Kevin Eltife & AD Chris Del Conte were key figures in getting the deal done, source said. Sarkisian has led UT to consecutive College Football Playoff semifinal berths & double-digit win seasons for 1st time in 17 years.”
As reported, Sarkisian is all in on the Longhorns.
“The fact Sarkisian didn’t take any NFL interviews shows his buy-in & commitment to the University of Texas,” a source told McMurphy.
As recently as last week, there was interest in NFL circles regarding Sarkisian.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter was asked about his reporting of Sarkisian’s candidacy in the pros while on Get Up.
