Steve Sarkisian, the head coach of the Texas Longhorns, has a new deal .

A recent article at Inside Texas said that firing the head football coach would be quite expensive.In fact, the university would lose more than $54 million if the head coach—who presently makes more than $10 million annually—were fired after the 2024 NCAA season.

Every year, the buyout drops by roughly $9 million, and if the incoming fourth-year head coach is fired following the 2029 college football season, it will drop to about $9 million.
