Nick Saban has graduated another member from his coaching rehab at the University of Alabama.
After the Crimson Tide earned a 31-14 win over Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl Game, reports starting flying about Steve Sarkisian possibly becoming the new head football coach for the Texas Longhorns. According to sources, yours truly of Touchdown Alabama Magazine learned the same information. In the craziness of this Saturday, there was even a report about Sarkisian potentially turning the job down.
At the end of the day, the Longhorns have made it official with the 46-year-old.

Texas parted ways from Tom Herman after having him for four seasons.
It targeted this year’s Broyles Award winner, and the nation’s top assistant coach has accepted.
With that being said, sources have still confirmed with me that Sarkisian will coach the College Football Playoff National Championship Game for the Tide against Ohio State on Monday, Jan. 11 at HardRock Stadium in Miami, Fla.
Through two season, he operated a powerful offense at Alabama.
Probably saw the buyout clause.
What a farce UT has become.
That would be news! Somebody tell the media!
Hey, what about the Gonzaga Bulldogs aka the Zags? They play the most beautiful brand of basketball in the nation. They're also one of the top academic programs in the country.
Very photogenic, too!
There’s little doubt in my mind that Texas fans will drive Sarkisian back to the bottle. I think it’s a terrible hire.
I’d hire Herman in a heartbeat, knowing that most likely UT will be still be paying him for years.
ABC13 Eyewitness News:
UT Names Steve Sarkisian As The New Head Football Coach
University Of Texas News:
Yeah and it’s not over.
"Sarkisian" is the singer Cher's actual maiden name. Wonder if they are related.
don’t think Steve Sarkisian is the second coming of Darrell Royal, or even Mack Brown.
Or even David McWilliams. Are Freddy Akers for that matter!
Whatever the NBA evaluators told Kispert to work on, he’s obviously done it. I am just guessing that one thing was to get his shot off quicker.
I’ve been thinking over the past two seasons that Kispert is going to be another Klay Thompson. Kispert also has great leadership skills.
Saban’s ‘Bama coaching rehab institute is getting his clients some excellent jobs and salaries.
Lane Kiffin $4.2m for a 5-5 year at Ole Miss.
I assume Sark is in that ballpark too...he was getting 2.5m as coordinator this year.
Well maybe not game won-loss record...but look at the financials, LOL.
Shem Karnowski is the all time leader in wins with 137. That's gonna be tough to surpass.
Ammo was a rock star. What a fun year that was, his junior year.
"Cher was born Cherilyn Sarkisian in El Centro, California, on May 20, 1946.[3] Her father, John Sarkisian, was an Armenian-American truck driver with drug and gambling problems.
According to respectable sources, yours truly of Touchdown Alabama Magazine has learned that Alabama football had a distinguished visitor this weekend.
