Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian is staying with the Longhorns long-term. Sarkisian agreed to a contract extension that keeps him in Texas through 2031, per multiple reports.

The 50-year-old head coach has reportedly been fielding interest from NFL teams, but opted to uphold his commitment to Texas instead of join the pros. The seven-year deal adds a year to his previous contract extension, which he signed last February and which gave him $10.6 million a year.

The new extension reportedly includes a raise to an already lucrative deal, per ESPN's Pete Thamel. Sarkisian was already the third-highest paid coach in the sport, behind Clemson's Dabo Swinney and Georgia's Kirby Smart.
