Alabama Football: Continuity, change and Crimson Tide Offensive Coordinators

It remains to be seen who the Colorado Buffaloes will hire as Head Coach. It will not be Alabama football, Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks coach, Steve Sarkisian. Sarkisian removed his name from consideration and is expected to be handsomely rewarded by the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Being an Alabama football offensive coordinator has been a pretty good gig under Nick Saban. Saban has had seven in what will become his 14th season leading the Crimson Tide. Two of the seven (Major Applewhite and Jim McElwain) used their Alabama football experience to become college football head coaches. A third, Lane Kiffin, used his time under Saban for a return to head coaching.
