In a move that has sent shockwaves through the college football landscape, the University of Texas has announced the termination of head coach Steve Sarkisian despite the Longhorns’ strong 2024 campaign. Under Sarkisian’s leadership, Texas achieved a 10-1 regular season record and a berth in the SEC Championship game, narrowly losing to powerhouse Georgia.
University officials cited “strategic differences” and a desire to “take the program in a new direction” as reasons for the surprising decision. Sarkisian, who brought Texas back to prominence with a Big 12 Championship and College Football Playoff appearance in 2023, has yet to comment on the decision.
Fans and analysts alike are questioning the move, with many speculating about behind-the-scenes turmoil or a high-profile replacement already in the works. Could Texas be aiming for a seismic coaching hire to usher in its SEC era?
Stay tuned as this story develops.
