Only 20 hours of private plane usage?? L contract 😂

What a beneficial confluence of events for Sark: #1, having Jimmy F’ing Sexton as your agent, coming off a conference championship season, CFP appearance, program headed in the right direction with player development, recruiting, fan engagement, etc., then the coaching dominos start falling with the Big Cheese in Tuscaloosa calling it quits and the ensuing coaching musical chairs… and everyone KNOWING you could have that Alabama job if you want it… wow.

Go earn it coach, you’ve made a lot of fans and defied a lot of skeptics over the last few years. Good for you and Miss Loreal.

He couldn’t have wished for a better turn of events. Maybe winning the natty. I think he will prove to be more than worth it ! 

Considering what major college football coaches have to deal with now and where CFB is going this seems like a deal for a competent HC.

lol on last sentence! Well done. Can't wait to see what the gameday attire is for Sark and Loreal in 2024!

Ain't that the truth! You are the HC and GM in CFB now with much more on the plate than 5 years ago. 

Fair deal for both sides. Love the incentives as well. So glad to have Sark locked down. He earned that extension. 

Fair deal. Not as long as Jimbos extension 

 

Love it

After the indignity of being paid less than Gundy, Vendables and Leipold last year, glad they made him whole.

Congratulations to Sark!  There’s no other coach I’d rather have coaching the Longhorns than him.  

Have we heard anything on buyouts for either side?  I’d hate to lose him to an NFL team without making them pay.

It will be interesting to see the full contract, including the terms of the buyout. Hopefully it will still be 70% of the remaining contract amount. But even if it is fully guaranteed, Texas would be facing a $40 million buyout if Sark followed the Jimbo Fisher trajectory.

Shaun’s always been a fave, I have family from LaPorte, so followed his entire career.

Well earned. Just think where the program was 5 years ago, and the fact that treading water would be a generous way to put it. He along with his staff have put Texas back where it needs to be. Hook Em'.

70% buyout if fired without cause.

For his personal use.

Has that term been included in the extension? I know it was in the original contract.

I thought so ,  but it may not be. Read elsewhere that hasn't been spelled out in the new extension. Or at least known for sure yet. Pretty sure journalists are checking to get that nailed down.
