In Texas, Steve Sarkisian drops the biggest coaching bombshell of them all

In a report out of Austin early Saturday morning Dianna Russini of The Athletic posted that Texas coach Steve Sarkisian is open to NFL head coaching jobs, including the Tennessee Titans where Brian Callahan was fired on October 18.

Sarkisian makes $10.8 million as coach of the Longhorns. The four highest-paid coaches in the NFL range from $16-$20 million. Pro coaches don't have to recruit and player management falls to the front office. They typically get a month off between the end of the season and OTAs, though some use that time to focus on the draft.
