re: Tom Herman needs to be the next one up on the Saban coaching rehab.

I don't remember anyone giving Sark any shot at being successful here before he was hired. All I heard was how he ruined the Falcon's offense and that he was a drunk, which still pisses me off.

Sarkisian is more fondly remembered than he deserves to be. His playcalling cost Alabama massively in the 2016-17 national championship game and was questionable at many points in 2019. His success in 2020 owes everything to the personnel on that team, although I'm sure BoB could have screwed even that up.

I'll own it. Except for the "he's a drunk" part (I was confident Saban wouldn't hire him if he thought that was still an issue) I was 100% that guy.

Really, really happy to have been completely wrong.
