One of the best college coaches to ever coach, couldn’t do it in the nfl Look no further than Saban for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that no former assistant has ever beaten him, right? I guess the difference is that Sark was a good head coach before working with Saban. He wasn’t groomed by Saban. Lane wasn’t either but he hasn’t been at a team with the tools to compete head to head with Saban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone1430 1,346 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Not my top choice but definitely by far one of the most experienced coaches we would have hired in a loooong time. I think he could have some good success here but we’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeTiger 5,107 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 One thing that kind of rubbed me the wrong way about Sark was how he tried to sue USC for $30 million alleging that they wrongly terminated him without giving him a chance to recover and go through rehab as if he was a victim and it was illegal for the school to punish him for showing up to work drunk multiple times, giving a profanity filled booster meeting while slammed, and publicly embarrassing the university. That said, I haven't heard anything real negative about him since then so hopefully he has fully recovered and become a bit more accepting of responsibility. I wouldn't be against his hire if AU thought he was the guy, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnell 592 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 He is not one of my favorites but of the canadiates listed he is in my top 2 with Kiffen being 1. I like their backgrounds as far as NFL and power 5 experience. I like Kiffen a bit better than Sark because Lane's father was a defensive guy in the NFL for years so I think lane would address the defensive side better.

AuburnEagle79 2,165 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I'd rather have Kiffin if we are choosing Bama OC's, but glad to see an interesting interview. As some have noted, it's funny to see that a lot of our targets are Saban assistants. It's like we are signing up to never beat him again. Steele, Kiffin, Sark, Mario, am I missing anyone? Wouldn't it be something if Auburn broke Saban's streak against his assistants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTaz 109 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Kiffin, Sarkisian, and Napier are my 1a, 1b, 1c right now. Freeze would be 1d just don’t see Auburn pulling that trigger. Sark seems ready for a head job again. Hopefully he’s gotten over his issues at USC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, AU is not committed to a winning football program. I do give Jughead credit for doing one thing and that was hiring Bruce. The PTB are nothing but a bunch of elitists who like to engage in **** measuring contests. They will screw it up and I think that some of them intend to if they can't get their way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be something if Auburn broke Saban's streak against his assistants? He will get beat eventually by a former assistant. I think it will take a strong minded coach like a Sark or Kiffin. Kirby is fast wearing out his welcome at GA and he’s been decent, but manages to lose at least one winnable game a year except for this year where their 2 losses were more expected.

I "think" we have interviewed (or had agent contact) with Christobal, Napier, Allen, Kiffin, and will with Sarkisian. Maybe others. Do you think one of those 'maybes' will be the guy? I don't see how you conduct an interview, agree to offer the job to the interviewee, agree on proposed terms to offer, then come to an agreement with the interviewee all in the same day. Perhaps he is interviewing only because he was promised one and it makes headlines? I know that at least three of those guys share an agent, so that would be one call to schedule three or more interviews. And we know that particular agent uses interviews and scare tactics to better current positions or open up other opportunities. Assuming the source is correct on the timeline to announce the new HC, I cannot see Sark being the guy. How much faith do you put in this source? I know back during the Tuberville era, you were pretty well in the know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
