Steve Sarkisian had a decision to make in February. An offer from Colorado was on the table. Five-and-a-half years after his career went off the rails, he could sign on the dotted line and become a head coach again, and he could do it closer to home and within the familiar confines of the Pac-12.
The temptation was there. He was flattered.
He said no.
The timing wasn't right. There were other opportunities, other interviews he could have taken, but he wasn't ready to leave Alabama -- not after he left so quickly the first time around.

If he returns to pac-12, I think Arizona makes the most sense...probably a 90 minute drive to Mexico for tequila.

Mexico? He should try Texas since that's where @Tequilla lives.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:If he returns to pac-12, I think Arizona makes the most sense...probably a 90 minute drive to Mexico for tequila.

Sark has many loyal water carriers in the media

True, but coordinators that have the best offense in the country get praise and their names thrown in the mix for open head coaching jobs. He’s a good enough coach to be a head guy somewhere.DerekJohnson said:Sark has many loyal water carriers in the media
He’s an average to slightly above average coach. We aren’t fans of him and rightfully so, but he would be an upgrade at many schools. -
He was having pieces like this written for him post-USC when he was barely 45 days sober. And Yogi and company sang his praises during his UW days. The man is a remarkable networker.RoadDawg55 said:

He’s holding out to take over for Orgeron when he gets fired.

He probably deserves a middling power 5 job but thinks he’s entitled to another powerhouse like USC.RoadDawg55 said:

Maybe he thinks he’s gonna be the one to replace Saban when he steps down. -
Interesting thought, but doubt he turned down the Colorado job with the thought that Orgeron would be fired within a year of coming off of a national championship. He turned Colorado down because it's a crappy job.doogie said:He’s holding out to take over for Orgeron when he gets fired.
I think Sark could thrive in the Big 12. -
id trust sark to watch my liquor cabinet before id trust him to run a P5 program.
