Steve Sarkisian Gone

[Marshal Dillon]

I guess he spoke the truth.

Multiple sources have confirmed to SB Nation that after meetings with Alabama head coach Nick Saban following the Championship, the relationship between Saban and Sarkisian deteriorated amid disagreements in “system philosophy,” per one source. Both parties planned to move on following Signing Day last Wednesday, and Saban was aware of Sarkisian’s contact with the Falcons.

One source described the problems between Sarkisian and Saban as “too similar” to the relationship between Saban and former coordinator Kiffin.

“There was an effort on Saban’s part not to repeat the same problem. This wasn’t going to work out,” a source close to Sarkisian told SB Nation.

I guess we're stuck with the 1-2 yard passing attack.

Hey coach...what's the buzz out there about the TCU OC?  He might be a good choice.

I'd like to see us get an OC who's hungry for success, as well as being good at developing QBs.

[hscoach]

Really haven't heard anything.

[hscoach]

TCU Sonny Cumbie.  Has title of Co-offensive coordinator. Has been there 3 years and help develop Boykin.

[roll tide roll]

Chip Kelly.

I really hope Chip Kelley doesn't come because he is HC minded and him and CNS will be fussing at the start of spring. JMPO. RTR!

Plus, he is a spread offense guy. Would be more of the same IMO.

I just hope whoever we get knows how to run the jet sweep.

   Well, every team runs it. 

I liked seeing Ardarius running free through the secondary!

Yeah, who wants 3 more SEC and 1 more National Championship?

The spread offense doesn't promote ball control. That was evident against Washington and it cost us against Clemson. I know that an anemic passing game had a lot to do with that, but I think we are still better suited to a power offensive game.

This is true.  There is a balance between power and the spread.

That was evident against Washington and it cost us against Clemson.

Allowing 21 pts in the fourth quarter cost BAMA the Clemson game.


BAMA rushed for over 200yds and averaged more than 6yds/carry.

The loss of Scarborough during the game cannot be understated and placed all the pressure on Hurts.

Also, Eddie Jackson's absence  made the elevation of the uphill grade that much more steep.

I know that an anemic passing game had a lot to do with that, but I think we are still better suited to a power offensive game.

BAMA's passing game was most certainly anemic.

Clemson rushed for less than 100yds and threw for over 400yds.

Very "spread-like" offensive totals and scheme that beat BAMA.

I do believe that the behind the scenes coaching meltdown/implosion/ soap opera had a lot to do with the poor offensive performance in both games.


Coach Bryant said, "You lose one game for every freshman you play."

By his measure BAMA was lucky to have made it to the NC game.

He knew a little about football.


So, why do you not want 3 more SEC and 1 more National Championships?

Actually Clemson used the short passing game to control the football.  Clemson held the ball over 9 more minutes than Bama did.  The inability to control the ball was Bama's inability to make first downs in the second half.  The offensive line wasn't as dominant as they need to be.  This contributed to the Bama defense having to play 99 plays.  The freshman quarterback got exposed.  I really hate watching routes running because it seems the people expect one person to get it and the others don't give a viable option.

Chill, RTR! 

I would certainly love 3 more SECC's and another Natty! But I think we have a better chance of doing that with a little more ground and pound. We won it the year before with King Henry running the heck out of the ball.

You mentioned the Bear. I believe he did a pretty good job of winning those with ball control offenses.

The spread has it's merits, I agree. But having an accurate passer is a must for that type of offense. If Hurts shows good improvement, or if Tua comes and and takes the job because he is more accurate, then I'm all good with it, because you can control TOP, even with a good game plan for the passing game.

However, we have not had the best of success at getting the most out of our 4 and 5 star QBs, and that is my fear. I very much hope I am proven wrong this upcoming season.
