Usually, I’m skeptical of coaches when they snap like this, but I believe the skipper here.
During an SEC coaches teleconference Wednesday, Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian strongly denied rumors of an impending split with the school, labeling the speculation “absolutely false and untrue.”
“I’ve had no discussions, not with my agent, not with the university, not with any other school, not with any NFL team, about ever going anywhere else,” said Sarkisian in a long-winded rant.
“I came here to win championships. I’ve got two kids enrolled at the University of Texas, one in law school, one on our team. I’ve got a third that hopefully decides to enroll at the University of Texas next fall. And my wife and I just had our son here in Austin. This is our home. We came here to win championships.” (RELATED: Wild Video Seemingly Shows Police Officer Body Slamming Fan Into Next Dimension At College Football Game)
And things didn’t stop there.
“We’ve built a damn good football program over the five years that we’ve been here,” continued Sarkisian. “We’ve been to two College Football Playoffs. We won a Big 12 championship. We went to the SEC championship game in Year One. We’ve had 23 players drafted the last two years, which is more than any other school in the country. And our team GPA is at an all-time high.
“So can we please stop putting things out there that you have absolutely zero evidence on, and then can we please stop retweeting, putting it back out there, as if it’s true, as if it’s the gospel? It is not true.”

He got me with two of his kids being at Texas, with a third on the way. Call me naive, but he sounds like he’s cemented in Austin.
