Texas Football Coach Sarkisian Signs Seven-Year Extension

Texas is bracing for a significant cold snap, with extreme cold watches and winter storm warnings issued across the state, particularly affecting the Texas Panhandle and Southeast Texas. Forecasts predict the coldest temperatures of the winter overnight Monday into Tuesday, with potential snowfall and mixed precipitation expected in major cities like Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Meanwhile, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has agreed to a new seven-year contract extension, turning down interview requests from NFL teams. Sarkisian, who has led the Longhorns to a successful season, including a trip to the College Football Playoff semifinals, is now set to remain at Texas through the 2031 season. His new deal includes a significant salary increase, reflecting his value to the program amidst rising interest from professional teams. As winter weather approaches, agencies are advising residents on preparation measures to ensure safety during the impending storm.
