Crimson Tide OC leaving for Atlanta

[WinterBorn]

This was a surprise. At least to me. It looks like it might not have been for Saban.

Given the talent on the field and the ability to recruit, I think a good OC won't be hard to find.

But it does mean one very weird stat. Alabama will play 3 consecutive games, against big name opponent, with a different OC in each one.

Kiffin - Washington
Sarkisian - Clemson
Whomever - FL State

Saw that. I was surprised too. Kind of odd that Saban helps Sark clean himself up, and then Sark is gone. Wonder who will replace him. I haven't heard any names yet.

Chip Kelly?

Chip Kelly?

I have heard he is in the running. Not sure if he can work under Saban, but that would make a formidable addition.

 

[Kat]

I heard he and Saban are friends. Others (writers etc) are saying it would be an awesome addition. Guess we will know soon enough. Saban doesn't generally sit on these things.

I can't see Alabama running a Chip Kelly offense

Saban has been successful with a traditional offensive scheme. Why would he scrap it?

The last few years we have been running a more open, west coast, sort of offense. Chip Kelly would be great. But I don't see his ego doing well under Saban.

Yeah, I am now hearing he is not interested in a OC job in college, and prefers to stay in the NFL.

Nick will find someone.
