Sarkisian arrived in Austin on Tuesday and he’s starting to fully build out his new program.
According to a report from ESPN’s Ian Fitzsimmons, the Longhorns’ new head coach has reportedly made a big addition to his staff.
Fitzsimmons is reporting that Sarkisian is hiring Alabama offensive line coach Kyle Flood. The now-former Crimson Tide assistant coach will reportedly arrive in Austin on Thursday.
“Alabama’s OL coach, Kyle Flood is leaving Tuscaloosa to join Steve Sarkisian at the University of Texas. He will be in Austin tomorrow. He was the architect of some of the best offensive lines in CFB since he arrived at The Capstone,” he reports.
“Coach Flood will have the title of Offensive Coordinator/ Offensive Line coach.”
