AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Longhorns are one of four teams in the College Football Playoff. The coach who led them there got a big bonus for it and stands to earn a lot more if the Horns win it all.
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian had already earned a $25,000 bonus for the Horns being bowl eligible this season and anther $100,000 for getting the team to the Big 12 title game, according to USA Today Sports. Texas’ 49-21 win over Oklahoma State Saturday earned him another $100,000 bonus.
Then with the announcement of Texas as one of the four teams that made it to the College Football Playoff, Sark earned another $75,000. USA Today Sports reports that he’ll earn another $125,000 if they get to the CFP final. And if Texas wins it all at NRG Stadium in Houston, Sarkisian will earn $250,000.
Steve Sarkisian has racked up $300,000 in bonuses so far this year for making the Big 12 title game, winning the Big 12 and making the CFP.
He will earn an additional $125,000 if Texas beats Washington and an extra $250,000 if the Longhorns win the national title. #HookEm
