Mark Stoops is not staying away from the college football sideline in 2026. The former Kentucky head football coach has a new gig in the SEC.
According to Chip Brown of 247 Sports, Stoops is joining Steve Sarkisian‘s staff at Texas as a special assistant. The Longhorns will not be on the schedule next fall, but their goal-line stand in overtime at Kroger Field cost Kentucky a chance to win six games, which would’ve likely kept Stoops in Lexington.
During his time at Kentucky, Stoops had nothing but nice things to say about Sarkisian.
