Sarkisian recently led the Longhorns to their second consecutive appearance in the College Football Playoff semifinals.

Texas and coach Steve Sarkisian have agreed on a new contract more than a week after the Longhorns were knocked out of the College Football Playoff, according to media reports. The Action Network first reported the new deal that it said came after Sarkisian declined interviews with two NFL teams for coaching spots.

Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns saw their season come to an end in the Cotton Bowl against the Ohio State Buckeyes. It was a tough loss, but they put together an impressive 2024 season that made them one of the top four teams in the country.
