Sarkisian’s unexpected decision to leave comes after just one season at the helm, raising questions about the future direction of the Longhorns and the reasons behind his departure.
Sarkisian’s tenure at Texas was marked by both highs and lows.

While the specifics of these reasons were not disclosed, it’s clear that Sarkisian’s departure was not motivated by dissatisfaction with the program or its direction. Instead, it seems to be a deeply personal choice made by a coach who prioritizes his well-being and family above all else.
