Is it possible that Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian may leave to play in the National Football League? This is Chris Del Conte’s opinion.

The New England Patriots and the Jacksonville Jaguars both fired their head coaches just a few hours after the regular season came to a close. This is a sign that the coaching carousel in the National Football League is in full gear. As a result of the midseason firing of coach Matt Eberflus, the Chicago Bears are another team that is now looking to fill a position.

There are still speculations going around, despite the fact that the College Football Playoffs are still in progress. Steve Sarkisian, the head coach of the Texas Longhorns, might be able to fill one of these vacant seats.

In a story that was published on Sunday by ESPN source Adam Schefter, it was stated that Sarkisian is anticipated to garner coaching interest from NFL teams during the summer. During his stint in the National Football League, the coach of the Longhorns has worked for the Oakland Raiders in 2004 and the Atlanta Falcons in 2017.

For what it’s worth, during the media availability for the Peach Bowl, Sarkisian was asked about his interest in the National Football League (NFL), but he responded by rejecting the idea.The most recent college to NFL head coaching hires have had a difficult time translating their success into the playing field. In the middle of the season, the Jacksonville Jaguars fired Urban Meyer due to dysfunction, Kliff Kingsbury was dissatisfied with the Arizona Cardinals, and Matt Rhule was unable to make the playoffs in his three years with the Carolina Panthers.

When it comes to transitioning from the college game to the professional game, Sarkisian’s mentor offers a realistic option. After serving as a coach at the University of Southern California from 2001 to 2009, Pete Carroll moved on to the Seattle Seahawks, where he remained until 2023. In 2013, he was the head coach of the Seahawks, who won the Super Bowl, and the Trojans, who won four Rose Bowls combined. The bond between Sarkisian and Carroll is very solid because Sarkisian supported Carroll in his roles as quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator from 2001 to 2003 and 2005 to 2008 respectively.

In light of Carroll’s past, this is a question that could be asked in the event that Texas prevails over Ohio State in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff on Friday and goes on to win the national title. In light of the recent remarks made by Chris Del Conte, the athletic director of Texas, it appears that the current situation is highly improbable.

While speaking with Kirk Bohls, a reporter for the Houston Chronicle, Del Conte stated, “We have a game to play.” I won’t make any comments on this. It appears that somebody is just making things up before our most important game. What a moron that is!

I am interested in winning on January 1st,” Sarkisian stated. “I have hopes of doing so.” “That is the subject that I am interested in. It’s a hypothetical situation. I’m not going to talk to you about that. No, I’m not sure.”
