Alabama has hired another former USC head coach as offensive coordinator, turning to Steve Sarkisian to once again replace Lane Kiffin.
Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban announced the move Friday with Kiffin having been hired to take over the Florida Atlantic program. Sarkisian will also coach the quarterbacks.
"We are pleased to be able to hire an offensive coordinator with the pedigree and experience of Steve Sarkisian," Saban said in a statement. "He has a tremendous offensive mind and is someone we believe will do a great job of teaching and developing our football team on the offensive side of the ball.
