Well, that’s that!

If not for Saban it's doubtful he'd every have another chance.

For sure. I just mean this whole narrative that Kiffin and Sark are considered part of the Saban tree is silly.

Well, now we wait to see who the next OC is........ sure Saban has one in mind already. Lots of potentially good hires who will make Bama’s offense go.......

Agreed - you are not a part of the Saban tree unless he taught you to coach, or your coaching philosophies come directly from Saban. Neither of those apply to Sark or Kiffin.

Maybe they’re hybrids? They took a branch from one tree and taped it to another. It is a tree after all

New blood for the offense after next Monday. Do we get new blood on the defensive side as well?

I wonder what the over/under is in Vegas for how long Sark lasts @ UT??? 4 years???

Alabama's Steve Sarkisian named Texas football coach, but will coach in championship game

Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian has accepted the head coaching position at Texas, but will coach UA in the national title game.

www.tuscaloosanews.com

" Sources with knowledge of the situation said Sarkisian is expected to accept a lucrative offer to replace Tom Herman but will coach the Crimson Tide offense in the Jan. 11 College Football Playoff Championship against Ohio State. "

This seems like more than just "passing along a rumor". Cecil has a stellar reputation as a reporter for a reason.

I believe Cecil more than 99% of the reporters. When i seen they fired Herman , I told my son they'll go after Sark,Freeze, and Kiffin. I know Kiffin just got new contract but texas could buy them 19 times over

I don't really care. Once he leaves Alabama, he becomes the enemy.

Well let’s here the speculation of who we go get. Need real names....Herman was a good OC

 

[Evil Crimson Dragon]

Hugh Freeze......... or, to really get wild with speculation, Bama hires OSUs coordinator

I threw in two names before, but I would call Phil Longo first.

North Carolina

I’d say even odds Herman is on our staff next year.
