AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas and Steve Sarkisian have reached a contract extension agreement, as reported by the Austin American-Statesman.

The football coach’s contract extension will run through the 2031 season.

The Statesman further reports that two to three NFL teams contacted Sarkisian about their coaching openings, but didn’t specify which teams.

Although Sarkisian received a raise, the exact amount wasn’t disclosed.

Sarkisian joined Texas football in 2021 and was named 31st head football coach at Texas.

Texas’s record under head coach Sarkisian stands at 38-17. He’s now among the nation’s top head coaches.

Under Sarkisian, the Longhorns reached the Southeastern Conference title game in their first season in the league. The Longhorns lost to Georgia 22-19 in overtime.

Texas advanced to the College Football Playoff and beat Clemson before getting past Arizona State in double overtime in the Peach Bowl. The Longhorns' season ended in the CFP semifinals with a 28-14 loss to Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl.

Last February, the University of Texas System Board of Regents approved a raise and contract for Sarkisian that boosted his guaranteed salary to $10.3 million this season.
