\u201cI\u2019d like to comment something before I get into our team that has been bothering me now over the past few weeks. That is people reporting that are insinuating that there\u2019s a possibility I could leave the University of Texas, and that is absolutely false and untrue. I\u2019m not going anywhere. Never do I do this because I never want to be a distraction, so I never address these things. At this point, I feel like this is important that I do this because it\u2019s important for our team. It\u2019s important for our university. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had no discussions, not with my agent, not with the university, not with any other school, not with any NFL team, about ever going anywhere else. I came here to win championships. I\u2019ve got two kids enrolled at the University of Texas, one in law school, one on our team. I\u2019ve got a third that hopefully decides to enroll at the University of Texas next fall. My wife and I just had our son here in Austin. This is our home.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came here to win championships. We\u2019ve built a damn good football program over the five years that we\u2019ve been here. We\u2019ve been to two College Football Playoffs. We won a Big 12 Championship. We went to the SEC Championship game in year one. We\u2019ve had 23 players drafted the last two years, which is more than any other school in the country and our team GPA is at an all-time high.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan we please stop putting things out there that you have absolutely zero evidence on? Can we please stop retweeting and putting it back out there as if it\u2019s true? As if it\u2019s the gospel? It is not true.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have a question about my future, call me or call Chris Del Conte, our athletic director, and we can set the record straight for you so everybody understands. So moving forward, when some Joe Blow decides to put something on social media out there, we all don\u2019t run with it like it\u2019s the gospel. Can we all agree on that on this call? If you have a question about my future with the University of Texas, ask me on one of these calls. Ask Chris Del Conte. He\u2019ll be more than happy to take your call so that we can set the record straight and so we can focus on our football team, which is what we should be doing.<\/p>\n
