The
Austin American-Statesman reports that Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian, a former offensive coordinator for the Alabama Crimson Tide who was hired to replace Tom Herman, will likely soon sign a six-year, $34.2 million deal if approved by the UT System Board of Regents. And per the Statesman’s report, it almost undoubtedly will.
From the
Statesman: “Sarkisian’s annual salary starts at $5.2 million for the 2021 season and escalates by $200,000 each year until it tops out at $6.2 million in 2026, according to the information posted late Friday in the UT regents’ agenda. All multiyear contracts or contracts that exceed $1 million in value need approval from the regents. They are scheduled to meet Wednesday and Thursday.”

The Steve Sarkisian era is hitting the gas and doesn’t show any signs of braking in the near future as Texas Longhorns quarterback commit Maalik Murphy teased another upcoming commitment following the pledge of Frisco Liberty wide receiver Evan Stewart late Thursday evening.

Murphy has connections to wide receivers like Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei’s CJ Williams, who plays with Sarkisian’s son at the Los Angeles-area powerhouse and USC pipeline, and St. Louis (Mo.) St. Mary’s Kevin Coleman. Williams, like Stewart, is a top-40 prospect nationally, while Coleman is even more highly considered, ranking No. 18 as a consensus five-star prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.
