PODCAST: Why Texas football’s 2025 offense soars under Arch Manning
Texas ex Rod Babers joins Statesman columnist on the On Second Thought to discuss Arch Manning taking over in 2025 and the Longhorns in the NFL draft.
Texas football is set to pay its 13 assistant coaches $10.6 million in base compensation during the pay period that includes the 2025 season, according to records obtained by the American-Statesman.
Defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski, widely considered one of the top defensive minds in the college game, will be the highest earner on the staff at $1.9 million.

Next is offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Kyle Flood, who is owed $1.45 million. Special teams coordinator and tight ends coach Jeff Banks will earn $1.2 million this year. Co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Johnny Nansen is the fourth Longhorns assistant scheduled to earn seven figures at $1.1 million.
After losing three members of his 2024 staff, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian hired six on-field assistants this offseason. Their salaries for this year are as follows:

∙ Chad Scott, running backs: $700,000
