Isn’t it interesting how Nick Saban played in the national title game Monday and already had Steve Sarkisian and Notre Dame offensive coordinator Chip Long in Tuscaloosa over the weekend as he searches for a new offensive coordinator. Meanwhile, crickets are chirping at USC and Lynn Swann is at Augusta National Golf Club as USC seeks to replace Kliff Kingsbury. Former USC wide receiver Randal … Continue reading USC Sunday Buzz
ESPN reports Steve Sarkisian is headed back to Alabama and turning down King Kliff’s job offer with the Arizona Cardinals. He is expected to become the Tide’s offensive coordinator.
