Clearly, Nick Saban is not concerned about Steve Sarkisian’s past.
After two years with the Atlanta Falcons, the 44-year-old is back in college football at the University of Alabama and Saban made it clear on Friday about the team being fortunate to hire someone that was offered an offensive coordinator position for the Arizona Cardinals.
He was dismissed from University of Southern California and University of Washington because of off-field issues; however, it was Saban who to reached out and provided Sarkisian another chance.
A native of California, Sark was an offensive analyst for the Crimson Tide in 2016 and due to Saban and Lane Kiffin drifting apart – he was forced to run the offense in the College Football Playoff National Championship meeting with Clemson at Tampa, Fla.
