One thing is that recruiting has changed since the last time Alabama had to replace a coordinator. Alabama already has 25 players signed, there's just not much else out there. Even Texas has 18 signed.

I imagine Saban might be willing to do a bit of horse trading here. Sark is not direct competition, Alabama barely has any room left. I imagine if Sark keeps his focus on the championship game Saban would be more than willing to do what he can to make sure Sark can finish strong with this recruiting class.

I hope this doesn't steer our recruits away
In this class I don't really think it can. Most are already signed.

Young will not go anywhere he has more talent here and pretty much the job handed to him. Texas has Casey Thompson who is a big time Quarterback prospect so they don’t need a quarterback. They also have the number 3 ranked quarterback from last year right behind Young in Card. They don’t need any more depth at quarterback.

It won’t be Freeze. I thought something like this when he yanked his name out of the AU search so suddenly. I was hoping it would not be the case but it is what it is. I just hope he DEMANDED total autonomy because the UT program is a totally different environment from what he has EVER been used to. It’s 180 different from things here. He will HATE it if he doesn’t clean house!!!!

Won't provide link due to language. But wow, the UT fan base is in meltdown over this. I like Sark and admire what he has accomplished personally but taking this job is career suicide.
