Generally, Bama Hammer stays away from most Alabama football rumors. Twitter, message boards and sports talk shows are filled with them. Very few end up having a factual basis. Paul Finebaum fueled one recently, suggesting Colorado might hire Steve Sarkisian and Hugh Freeze would become the Crimson Tide Offensive Coordinator.
The Finebaum conjecture was a stretch. Sarkisian’s name was included on some lists for the Colorado opening. There was no solid information Colorado was targeting him. Nor was there any indication Sarkisian would be interested in the Buffs.
As of midday on Wednesday, Colorado appeared to be down to Bret Bielema or Troy Calhoun.
