It looks as if Texas football head coach Steve Sarkisian has found his replacement for the recently-departed former special assistant to the head coach Gary Patterson. According to the Texas staff directory on Texassports.com, the special assistant to the head coach role that was previously occupied by Patterson is now shown as being filled by Payam Saadat.
Saadat is a longtime college coach that has nearly three decades of experience at the Division I level. Before he was a Division 1 college coach, though, Saadat was a linebacker for the Washington State Cougars in the early 1990s.
