I think Mario is somewhere in the middle.
Yea - agree. Mario definitely isn't a "I don't know anything about running a offense/defense" guy, but he also isn't a offensive or defensive guru guy like Lincoln Riley or Kirby or Mullen.

I'll be honest - assuming that the drinking thing is still something he is seriously 100% on top of keeping under control, I'd be completely content handing things over to Sark when Saban goes.
I'm not sure I'd do that if I was another program that needed to build from scratch, but as a caretaker of what we have right now I feel pretty good about the fact that we would keep rolling for at least 4-5 years. His recruiting, offensive chops and at the very worst average program running abilities are more than enough for me - especially combined with 4-5 of working directly with Saban and being the right hand guy in the program.
I think it'd be very similar to Ryan Day right now at Ohio State. And hey, if things start falling off in 5-6 years, you start looking around for something else. That's a pretty damn good post-Saban scenario to me.

Yeah I think Mario is a lot more like Dabo than he is a meathead jackass like O, but the odds of anyone being able to recreate that kind of staff continuity are practically nil and I think that continuity is why Dabo is as successful as he is. I don't even think Dabo could recreate it here. It's one of the most inexplicable things I've ever seen in college football that doesn't involve Auburn. That's why I would prefer a guy who has a high level of expertise on one side of the ball.
