One of the key targets for new Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian is close to falling into place, as Chip Brown of Horns247 reported on Wednesday morning that Alabama offensive line coach Kyle Flood is expected to join Sarkisian’s staff.
Flood will also likely receive the offensive coordinator title — and a commensurate salary boost — with Sarkisian calling plays.
In Flood’s second season in Tuscaloosa, the Alabama offensive line won the Joe Moore Award on Tuesday as the best offensive line in college football this season. Quarterback Mac Jones was only sacked 12 times in 2020, once for every 42.
