Will the news of Steve Sarkisian taking the Texas job be a massive distraction for Alabama?

Nick Saban’s coaching rehab at the University of Alabama is two-fold.

It creates opportunities for coaches to reinvent themselves and endear themselves to a passionate fan base; however, it also opens them to other enticing job offers in the future and a coach that was starting to be loved by fans has to part ways from them.

This song and dance happens again with Stephen “Steve” Ambrose Sarkisian.

After two seasons with the Crimson Tide, the University of Texas desired him and hired him to be its next head football coach.

Before he becomes a full-time Longhorn, Sarkisian operated the nation’s most explosive offense this season.
