Jumbo Package: Tide set to play without Nick Saban for the first time since 2006

Happy Thursday, everyone. As you might imagine, Nick Saban testing positive for the Rona is the topic du jour.

“He can call the offense. He’s done a really good job of that. We’re not going to make those kind of changes. We’ve got a very capable staff. Those guys make good game day decisions. I just kind of monitor what they do and make sure we’re staying on the rails. I think we can get that done even if I’m not available.”

Sarkisian is in his second stint working for Saban. He spent the 2016 season as an offensive analyst for the program before working two seasons as offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons.
