— AL.com can’t confirm that Sarkisian has been hired as of this moment. However, a couple sources mentioned him as a possibility for the offensive coordinator job on Friday and I can confirm that he was in Tuscaloosa today per sources. Sarkisian, who was an analyst at Alabama in 2016 and then briefly the Tide’s offensive coordinator before ultimately leaving for the Atlanta Falcons, was fired by the Falcons Dec. 31.

— Sarkisian wasn’t the only big name coach in town today. Notre Dame offensive coordinator Chip Long was also in Tuscaloosa today, according to sources. It looks like he could join the staff in some capacity even if/when Sarkisian is hired as offensive coordinator. A Birmingham native, Long has been the offensive coordinator at Notre Dame the last two years after one season as the OC at Memphis.

I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry.

Saban is targeting an NFL OC or the OC of a playoff team.

LSU is searching for its next AARP candidate.

Seriously. Why fool with interviews and shite. Not only promote your buddy but preferably one who hasn’t called plays in 25 years. Brilliant

Morris Watts is pushing 80 and is the OC under Mike Haywood at Texas Southern. They were both on Dinardo's staff.

So Long is looking to leave his job as OC at Notre Dame for a “staff position” possibly under Sark?

Sounds plausible
