The Alabama side to Steve Sarkisian's move to the Falcons

Thanks for posting this TUSKstuff. Very interesting piece.

Alabama blew a 4th quarter lead in the national championship. Sark will fit right in with the Falcons.

Do you say you're going to go out and get the best OC possible if he's Mike Lockley?

Locksley isn't exactly known for developing QBs.

We need a proven QB developer with 3 young players at that position.

If that weren't the case, why didn't CNS move Locksley up in the 1st place when Kiffin left? Locksley had been here longer than Sark.

Wow.

 

[OldPlayer]

Right now every college program with a good OC is in panic mode. CNS is about to come calling.

It stands to reason that you would be gun-shy when it comes to Mr. Kelly however I am thinking it may be one of those "better in college than the pros" or "better as an OC than a head coach" kind of thing. One thing for sure, he wouldn't be in it for the long haul. This would be used like a launching pad to his next destination.

Bummer. I was pulling for you Sark but not to do this.

Steve Sarkisian was scheduled to make $1 million at Alabama
Aaron Suttles | Beat Writer

Former University of Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian was scheduled to make $1 million in 2017, The Tuscaloosa News has learned.

Sarkisian was paid $83,333.34 as his monthly salary on Jan. 31, 2017, according to university records. As an offensive analyst, Sarkisian was earning $35,000 per year. His salary was upgraded when he took over offensive coordinator duties from Lane Kiffin prior to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.

Sarkisian accepted the Atlanta Falcons' offensive coordinator position Tuesday.

What QBs have Kelly or Heflin "developed" tho?

I'm with the Locksley crowd on this one. It's time to stop bringing the ex-head coaches and bring a guy in that's going to build an offense for a longer term run.

Look what he did with Kiffin, a lot of us didn't think he was any good. But under Saban thumb he did great here. Now out from under that thumb look at him now. I trust in who ever Saban get to replace him.

No matter who it is, they should easily have a higher winning percentage as OC than the guy that just left.

Interesting...

AMEN Shank. Rode Bo into the ground that night

Doesn't exactly add up... unless it's a nice cover story for a slippage in personal issues

It would be nice to find out when these disagreements happened to have come up. They've been out recruiting. Where's the time?
