Sarkisian is basically Herman rehabbed and older, wiser, more mature. He’s also a much better play caller and offensive mind. He also has a much better network of colleagues that will work for him.
Everyone obviously wanted Meyer and that didn’t work out. After that, our options were Franklin, Campbell, Kelley, Cristobal, Malzhan, Fickell, Fleck. I’ll take Sark over any of those guys. He’s the best recruiter of that bunch outside of Cristobal. He’s also the best offensive mind and play caller of that group. He simply needs to hire a stud staff. He’s also the only one in the group that has both NFL and college experience and multiple big time programs.
One last thing, Bama, Auburn, Colorado and and a list of other schools wanted him badly. Bama administration and fans wanted him to be the heir to Saban. He’s the real deal. I’m also excited because it seems like a big contingency of hiring him was the importance of the staff he’s planning on assembling. Get ready to get the Leals, the Marvin Wilsons, the Jaylen Waddles, the Kelee Ringos. If the names we’re hearing are true, they know how to win bidding wars.
