Re: Replacement Offensive Coordinator

Let's keep this thread about possible OC replacement. Keep talk about Lane for another thread.

Re: Replacement Offensive Coordinator

All of Saban's OC hires kinda came out of left field. Nussmeier made sense at least once we heard that he had a relationship with McElwain. Kiffin made sense given he was invited on as an advisor for the bowl. Still, I wouldn't have predicted those at the time nor the other two either.

I don't. He's implicated in a massive Title IX lawsuit. Until his name is cleared of any involvement in the Baylor sexual assault cases, I don't want him near Tuscaloosa. And lets be real, Baylor wouldn't have fired him unless it was really bad. He's the best chance at national contention they've ever had...he did something and it was terrible enough to get the whole chain of command from Briles to the top of the university fired or pushed out.

Re: Replacement Offensive Coordinator

Well if Sark isn't picked to be the next OC, then how long does he stay an analyst under CNS???

Re: Replacement Offensive Coordinator

I think Sark might be one of those CLK hinted at during his presser that will be joining him at FAU.

I'm pretty sure that Kiffin is going to hire some off-the-field analyst type people. That's a good thing, especially for the young guys like Weis, Jr...this is exactly how the process is suppose to go: coordinators get head jobs; they take GTAs, S&C assistants, and off-field staff with them to build part of their staff; maybe a position coach gets a coordinator opportunity with him; everyone gets more opportunity to advance their career in the process. Of course, Sark is an atypical example of that being a former P5 conference HC.

Re: Replacement Offensive Coordinator

Also, I've heard that Kiffin's early plan is to hire a lot of Miami area HS coaches. I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to get the experience of Sark at OC and find someone in his contacts with some college experience at DC. Fill the rest with HS coaches and former GTA/analysts from here.

Coach Sark is only making $25k or $30k a year as an analyst. I'm sure he banked some good money at Washington and at USC (plus I think his contract termination terms are in court), but at some point I'm sure he'll want to make more money and coach on the field. If that promotion doesn't come here (to a position coach if not coordinator), I could see him moving on to FAU or elsewhere. There is no reason to remain as an analyst.
