With Nick Saban expected to miss the Alabama-Georgia matchup for Saturday, two coaches must pull the Crimson Tide through at Bryant-Denny Stadium: Steve Sarkisian and Charles Kelly.
For Sarkisian, this is an interview to prove he can be a head coach again at some point. He would never want his opportunity to come at the expense of Coach Saban’s health; however, one cannot dictate where chances occur. Sarkisian was a head coach for seven years at the University of Washington (2009-13) and University of Southern California (2014-15).
He may have jumped into the role a little too early, but Sarkisian learned a lot from it.
