Steve Sarkisian’s Massive Bonus: A Testament to Texas Longhorns’ Success
In a remarkable display of excellence, the Texas Longhorns, led by head coach Steve Sarkisian, have secured a spot in the College Football Playoff (CFP) quarterfinals. This impressive achievement has earned Sarkisian a substantial bonus of $250,000, bringing his total performance-related bonuses for the 2024 college football season to $650,000.
As reported by Steve Berkowitz of USA Today, Sarkisian’s bonus structure is tied to the team’s performance in the CFP. Prior to the quarterfinals, Sarkisian had already earned $250,000 for securing a spot in the CFP and an additional $150,000 for being the runner-up in the SEC title game.
Sarkisian’s estimated salary for the 2024 college football season is approximately $10.3 million, according to Front Office Sports. However, with the Longhorns’ continued success, Sarkisian stands to earn even more. If the team advances to the semifinals, he will receive an additional $750,000. A national title game appearance would net him $1 million, and a championship win would earn him a staggering $1.25 million.
The Longhorns’ next challenge comes in the form of a matchup against the Arizona State Sun Devils on January 1. As 13.5-point favorites, per ESPN BET, the team is poised to continue their winning streak.
Sarkisian’s leadership and strategic coaching have been instrumental in the Longhorns’ success. His ability to motivate and inspire his team has resulted in a remarkable season, with the possibility of even greater achievements on the horizon.
As the college football world watches with bated breath, one thing is clear: Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns are a force to be reckoned with. With their sights set on the national championship, the team is poised to make a deep run in the CFP, and Sarkisian’s bonus structure reflects the team’s lofty ambitions.
