Texas has agreed to a contract extension with coach Steve Sarkisian after guiding the program to consecutive berths in the College Football Playoff, 247Sports confirmed on Saturda

After back-to-back trips to College Football Playoff semifinals, Texas extends coach Steve Sarkisian's contract to 2031.

Multiple media reports say 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.

Steve Sarkisian parlayed back-to-back College Football Playoff semifinal appearances into an extension — and not another job.

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.

After reportedly turning down interviews with two NFL teams regarding their coaching vacancies, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian agreed to a new seven-year deal, ESPN reported on Saturday.

In the quarterfinals, Ohio State had to go up against the top seed in the CFP: Oregon. Everyone was expecting it to be the game of the playoff as the Ducks narrowly beat the Buckeyes in the regular season, but it ended up being a complete dud. Halfway through the second quarter, Ohio State was up 31-0. The Buckeye cruised to another easy win.

Despite another playoff loss, the Texas Longhorns are doubling down on head coach Steve Sarkisian, solidifying their commitment with a contract extension.
