AUSTIN, Texas — What would Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian do with $75 million, roughly the cost of the buyout that the Texas A&M Aggies are now set to pay former head coach Jimbo Fisher by celebrating Saturday’s 51-10 win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs to achieve bowl eligibility by firing Fisher on Sunday?
“I don’t have that in my contract,” said Sarkisian on Monday.
Indeed, Sarkisian does not.
The Texas head coach is in the third year of a $34.2 million contract with a yearly salary of $5.
