I don’t know that much about him but I doubt he would make such a move if it jeopardized winning the championship.
It’s not going to jeopardize the win. The game plan is in place, Sarkisian will call almost all the same plays Kiffin, they just plain have a better team than Clemson, and now no one can question Saban’s brilliance. Also he won’t be getting to scream at Kiffin, but I’m sure he’ll find somebody.
