It'll take a couple of recruiting cycles to get the type players he needs to run his offense. If he can get them looking good next year, he may get the head coaching gig. I think his offense will struggle against SEC speed.

Doesn't really matter as long as they continue to not play defense.
Agreed. As much as Hugh Freeze was heralded, his Achilles Heel was his lack of interest in recruiting on the defensive side of the ball.

The whole Land Shark thing grew out of the defense that Coach Yaw Yaw recruited, and Hootie Nutt inherited. They were salty and had swagger.

But that was 10 years ago. Bring the "land shark" meme back now was the height of comedy.

Reading over some other boards, there are quite a few 12Rsee fans who feel that Pruitt is going to hire Sarkisian as their OC...............many calling him a home run, like many Ole Sis fans feel about Rich Rod...............

If Rodriguez had took the Bama job how many coaching changes do you think we would have made if Saban didn't take the job?

This is strictly speculation, but I think Rodriguez would have lasted 4 years max. Beyond that I have no clue .
Never can tell, maybe he will come full circle. The story could unfold something like this: Turned down the HC job in ‘07 only to come on Saban’s staff in 2021 as an offensive analyst. [emoji23]. 30k a year. Yikes.
