Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian was asked about reporting connecting him to NFL jobs in the most recent cycle.

With 27 new players and three new assistants, Sarkisian wants to focus on teaching and development to maintain the culture he’s built on the Forty Acres.

Texas football is part of a growing national trend since 19 Power Four teams have already announced they won't play a spring game.

The narrative around no spring games points to tampering as the reason, but Sark insists its a different issue at Texas.

Preseason injuries and the impact of the longest football season in Longhorns history will bear out on spring practice.
