In a shocking announcement that has left fans and players alike in disbelief, Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian declared, “This is the end for me,” during an emotional press conference on Wednesday. With tears in his eyes, Sarkisian revealed that he would be stepping down from his position following a challenging season for the Longhorns football program.
Sarkisian, who took over as head coach in January 2021, guided the team through significant ups and downs.

Sarkisian’s departure raises questions about the future direction of the Texas football program, one of the most prestigious in college sports. With speculation rampant about potential replacements, the University of Texas will have a crucial task ahead in finding a leader who can bring the Longhorns back to prominence.
As this chapter closes for Sarkisian, fans will be left to ponder what comes next for the legendary team and its next head coach.
