The Texas Longhorns are hiring Washington defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski for the same role on Steve Sarkisian's staff, sources confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.
Kwiatkowski has been the Huskies' defensive coordinator since 2014 after joining the staff from Boise State along with head coach Chris Petersen. He did not overlap at Washington with Sarkisian, who led the program from 2009 to 2013.
Kwiatkowski served as Washington's sole defensive coordinator in 2014 and 2015, shared responsibilities with Jimmy Lake from 2016 to 2019, and again held the sole coordinator title in 2020 after Lake succeeded Petersen as head coach.
