Steve Sarkisian on Texas rumors: 'I am not going anywhere' - ESPN

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian pushed back against claims that he is looking to leave the program, saying Wednesday that he is «not going anywhere.»

Sarkisian addressed reports about his potential departure, calling them «absolutely false and untrue.» The fifth-year Longhorns coach said he normally doesn't address rumors about his future but felt a need because of the importance to both the team and university.

ESPN analyst Desmond Howard on Monday posted a video on social media saying he wouldn't be surprised if the Texas job opens at the end of the season, suggesting «a mutual parting of ways.» Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte reposted Howard's video and wrote, «This is news to me.»
