With teams having a chance to play as many as 17 games or 18 if they travel to Hawaii, coaches around the country are now attempting to figure out how to lessen the load on players.

On3’s Ari Wasserman ranked Texas’ Steve Sarkisian as the No. 4 head coach in all of college football entering the 2025 season. It’s a one place advancement over On3’s 2024 ranking, but some of the names still ahead of Sarkisian have changed.

Longtime Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds always believed that every coach at Texas should be among the best in their profession. He always paid them that way, too. Dodds always wanted each Texas coach to be among the top-five highest paid coaches in their respective sport.
