I REALLY hope the University has found a combo of Mack/Charlie/Herman here. My POV/reasoning...
Each Coach had positive traits:
Mack - Recruiting and Class - we all know he could recruit. But that “class” was often taken, and rightly so, for his softness; which could be argued, begets the entitlement. No thanks
Charlie/ I feel like he had that “dawg” mentality, a sort of toughness. He.Just.Couldn’t.Coach.On.Gameday.
Nor was he the CEO that the program needs/demands.
Herman- Could recruit. Is an intelligent person. Is also what could be described as a narcissist with a huge inferiority complex. Alway has to be the smartest person in the room (Again, NO “leader” should want this) And one of the most irritating traits of course, that when they were up, the turtle came out. And it certainly wasn’t because he was “keeping it classy”...
So, I hope Sark can: Recruit (so far it’s looking like he can), be an astute GAME DAY coach (Saban tree, so I’m hopeful), remain humble and surround himself with smarter people than he, and kick ass (ie knock the shit out of ‘em, help ‘em up, so you can do it again)
I’m fired up. Let’s GO!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
