WAFF says Sarkisian - again??

[GrayTide]

IIRC, Sarkisian was the primary recruiter for Tua and from what I have read had a very good relationship with Tua's entire family. Now that Taulia is headed to Alabama and Tua has at least one more season this could have factored into CNS's decision to bring him back. I think there is more to this than we will ever know for sure.

I would be comfortable with this hire honestly.

I’m going to adopt a “ wait and see” attitude about the hire........ he’s not my first choice, but if he gets the job done and wins big, I will admit I was wrong about him........ but we shall see

SARK is a solid OC, but that’s it, solid. JMO, he’s not a bad choice or a good choice. He had problems with playcalling in the red zone at critical times over the last 2 years. I will go back to my other post on the other thread, he had problems manipulating defenses to get certain mismatches . Even with the best wide receiver in football .

Maybe getting back into playcalling will help, learning from mistakes. maybe another voice in the offense room will help. I trust Nick and what he is doing, he had a reason for hiring Sark. He sees something that a lot of us do not, even if it’s simply getting back to basics and a more conventional pro style offense.

Look, refurbed coaches is just one of the things we have to accept at Bama. It’s like 3 years and the draft for our stars or 1 and done at UK for b-ball. Coaches have a successful year or two here and they are poached. I’m of the mind that CNS has accepted this and would rather go with the known commodity rather than roll the dice with a wet behind the ears unproven coach. Some say that we might be experiencing that now. He’s got half the freaking CF championships for the last decade. That’s insane! I’m just going to trust the man.

Sark has a much better resume than the last two hires.....Daboll and Locksley......and even Enos. I was a fan of Enos getting the job but facts are facts....

Every coach who has ever coached in the NFL has been fired. The entire league is retreads.

There`s only two kinds of coaches. Those that have been fired and those that are waiting to be.

The defensive side of the ball is where Atlanta was lacking not the offense.

Very true. Few coaches get to leave on their own terms.

To be fair, they got bit by the injury bug as well, but their defense hasn’t been the same without those guys

I’m not trying to start an argument, but you don’t get let go as an offensive coordinator because the defense is bad. And in 2017 , the falcons had a top 10 defense.

Very well said. Coach Saban trusts these guys and that is why they are promoted or brought back in to the program. Everybody seemed to be fired up about the hot new coaches he brought in last year like Golding, but now people think Golding is not that good. Give me the older guys because coaching the kids up is what is needed. We could still get by with a 5th place finish on signing day if we have good coaching.

Nick Saban was fired by OSU when he was secondary coach......Bill Belichick was fired by the Cleveland Browns.....seems like those two guys turned out okay....

I really don't like the hire, but I hope Sark does well. His offense in Atlanta in 2017 may have cost the Falcons a title shot. They were terrible in the red zone. I think they lost in the playoffs to the Eagles and had the ball inside the 10 with a chance to win the game and blew it. This year, Atlanta's defense was the real problem. Hope our field goal kicker gets better if red zone problems start occurring at Bama.

In Atlanta you do to save the Head coach's job. In 2018, yes they had personnel issues but they still underachieved on defense and the fact they were good in 2017 made it look worse.

I am almost tempted to use a dirty word. This is hard to believe.

 

[pluckngrit]

When has Coach Saban ever had a predictable hire?

 

[pluckngrit]

Trust the process!!!

Outside of Bama and the Cardinals, has anyone else been banging on Sark’s door since being let go by the Falcons?
