Sarkisian's agent denies Texas coach's interest in NFL opening
Steve Sarkisian's agency has refuted a report from The Athletic's Dianna Russini that the Texas head coach has informed NFL decision-makers he'd be interested in multiple openings, including with the Tennessee Titans.
CAA's statement called the report "patently false" and "wildly inaccurate," claiming his sole focus is on the Longhorns program.

The Titans dismissed Brian Callahan earlier this month after a 1-5 start to the season.
Sarkisian has spent the last five seasons with the Longhorns, posting a 43-19 record. The 51-year-old guided the program to the College Football Playoff semifinals in the two most recent campaigns.
Texas has produced four consensus All-Americans under Sarkisian's watch, including Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson.
Sarkisian has no NFL head-coaching experience, but he's served as the offensive coordinator for the Falcons and quarterbacks coach for the then-Oakland Raiders.
Texas enters Saturday's game against Mississippi State with a 5-2 record.
