Sarkisian replaces kiffin

Of course that is why he hired Sark. Saban is always a step ahead of the competition for the most part. That is why he is the greatest college football coach in the history of the game.
Agree 100% my friend. I try telling people that. Saban will go down as the greatest college football coach ever.
So Saban couldn't, but Stoops did. Therefore Stoops > Saban.
I can get behind that.
Coach Saban is the greatest coach of his generation, not of all time.
I get what you are saying, but recruiting is a part of coaching. I hate when opposing fans argue that Cal is not a good basketball coach and is only good at recruiting.
Lot of truth in this post. How many five stars the last four years, five so far this year. A very good coach but------
Couldn't make it in the pros, had mixed results early in the career. Found his groove at Michigan State and better at LSU. At Alabama, he has combined an intensity to succeed with hiring good to great coaches to become the best recruiter in contemporary times. And, he coaches with an even higher intensity to win. He has "it."
Miami Dolphins didn't have much of a roster. Aging Gus Frerotte at QB. In the NFL it's all about the QB.
I don't think Saban is the best coach ever, by a long shot. He is a great recruiter, but I think Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, and Coach Eddie Robinson, were two of the greatest coaches ever.
They could take theirs, and beat yours, or take yours, and beat theirs.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!

The whole thing makes you wonder if Kiffin had a spot on the Bama coaching staff next year.
I think he was starting to wear out his welcome as well. Why didn't his contract get renewed? And why did they bring Sark aboard to begin with? I'm pretty sure Lane knew he needed to find employment elsewhere hence why he was rumored for every job from Oregon HC to LSU coordinator. I think he was just tryin to find a job anywhere he could because he knew he wasn't coming back to Tuscaloosa. He better make this gig work. If coaching under Saban can't propel a guy to bigger and better things then dude done shot off at the mouth one too many times for most ADs to even consider.
I and several other people posted here on this website more than a month ago that Sarkisian would replace Kiffin as Alabama's offensive coordinator. But a couple of other guys insisted Saban would bring in someone else from outside. At the time, they were pushing their silly theory that Mac Jones would decommit from Alabama and sign with Kentucky, which isn't happening and never was. Sarkisian was not necessarily stashed in Tuscalosa to replace Kiffin. But once it became clear (by October really) that Kiffin was on his way out, it was always going to be Sarkisian. Saban can plug in a new defensive coordinator pretty easy since Saban himself is really their defensive coordinator. But they need an experienced offensive coordinator with a name, who already believes in that system, and Sarkisian is perfect for them.
Wooden? Wasn't his chief recruiter the construction millionaire?
Coach K?
Who is that?
Now I understand some guy named California (for long) or something like that is a good recruiter, but I don't get involved in bb recruiting much.
I'm wondering if Saban isn't kind of running a "rehab" program for good coaches with serious mistakes on their resumes. Bring them in, let them rebuild their rep at the best program in the country, then set them back out in the coaching world with a second chance.
If so, I think it's kind of an admirable thing to do.

Wow,I like what Stoops has done this year but I had no idea he was this good,the SEC better start to worry.UK on top of the league in basketball and football,I'm not sure the league is ready for that,but they will get over it in time
