Under Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian’s new contract, it would cost a lot of money to fire the head football coach, according to a recent report at Inside Texas.
In fact, the head coach—who’s currently earning more than $10 million annually—would cost the university more than $54 million if he was fired following the 2024 NCAA season.
The buyout decreases by about $9 million each year, and down to some $9 million if the incoming fourth-year head coach is fired after the 2029 college football season.
