Overview
- An Athletic report said representatives for Texas coach Steve Sarkisian told NFL decision-makers he would be interested in head-coaching openings, including the Tennessee Titans.
- Sarkisian’s agents, Jimmy Sexton and Ed Marynowitz of CAA, issued a statement calling the report 'patently false and wildly inaccurate' and said he is focused on Texas.
- After Texas’s overtime win at Mississippi State, Sarkisian denounced the story, saying 'It really pisses me off' and asserting no one speaks for him without his approval.
- Sarkisian signed an extension earlier this year through 2031 that pays about $10.8 million in 2025, with reporting noting a sizable buyout that would complicate any departure.
- He previously declined NFL interviews in the last hiring cycle and has past pro experience as the Raiders’ quarterbacks coach and the Falcons’ offensive coordinator, while the Titans have the league’s lone current vacancy.
