I think Bama fans are being way too critical of this hire. Reading the various message boards, you would think Dave Rader is coming back to be OC.
Sark left a very bad taste in everyone’s mouth when he left, I get that. And it’s exacerbated by the fact that we just lost another NC to the same team on Monday. However, we all know that 2016 NCG was a very tough situation. Sark was thrown in there at a week’s notice with a QB who could not throw the ball. Not to mention Bo going down. I agree that he deserves some blame. If we ride D Harris, I believe we win. But it’s not like Saban couldn’t have stepped in at any time in that game if he wanted to.
A lot of Bama fans were happy when he was hired to replace Kiffin. With the Falcons, his offense was statistically good. His offenses at USC and Washington were phenomenal. If you weren’t complaining about Daboll and Locksley (two guys who failed miserably at previous stops), I don’t see how you can be upset about Sark.
