re: Mississippi State hires Leach, Sark stays

Sark was a Power 5 head coach at two well respected programs. If Sark is going to be in college football it stands to reason he wants to be a head coach again. Sark may have told Saban he'd stick around for a while but I don't even think Saban would expect Sark to turn down a Power 5 head coaching job to remain his OC. Lastly, coaching on the Power 5 level is strictly business. These coaches are looking out for themselves.

I think you could reasonably expect him to turn down a P5 job that is a guaranteed failure and HC career ending move. As others have said, look at MSU’s situation and there is no visible path past 5-6 wins for the next several years.
