Texas' Steve Sarkisian slams NFL coaching rumors: 'Absolutely ridiculous'

As the Texas Longhorns travel to face Ohio State to kickoff the 2025 season, Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson, who played in the burnt orange during his college days, gave his take on Arch Manning and more.

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian came away with a win over Mississippi State on Saturday, but it wasn’t a joyous post-game press conference for him. 

Not only did quarterback Arch Manning suffer an injury in the overtime victory, but a report came out on Saturday morning from The Athletic stating Sarkisian’s representatives "have let NFL decision makers know that he would be interested in potential head coaching openings, including the [Tennessee] Titans." 

While Sarkisian’s agents slammed the report, calling it "patently false and wildly inaccurate," the man himself took time post-game to discuss it.

"I’d love to touch on this, so bear with me for a second because it really p---es me off that one person can make a report that, in turn, the entire media and sports world runs with as factual, to the point that my agency and my agents had to put a statement out, which they’ve never done historically," Sarkisian said, per OrangeBloods.com. 

"CAA, Jimmy Sexton, Ed Marynowitz have never done that. But I had to do it to protect my locker room and my team, and I thought it was absolutely ridiculous.
