Just got an ESPN update that the Falcons are going to lure Steve Sarkisian to become the new Oc. Hopefully that will allow for us to interview and proceed to hire the qb coach for our oc job.

Too funny talk about a downgrade. Also what does Chip Kelly do? Manage your local McDonald's?

Falcons announce Steve Sarkisian is their new offensive coordinator

The Falcons have agreed to terms with Steve Sarkisian to be their next offensive coordinator, the team announced on Tuesday.

The surprising announcement comes a day after Kyle Shanahan left his job as the Falcons’ offensive coordinator to become the head coach of the 49ers.

Sarkisian has very little NFL experience, with just one season as the Raiders’ quarterbacks coach. He has previously been a head coach in two college stops, at Washington and USC, getting fired from the latter job over allegations that alcohol abuse was affecting his judgment.

Last month Alabama promoted Sarkisian to offensive coordinator. Now the Crimson Tide will have to look elsewhere.

Falcons head coach Dan Quinn has never previously worked with Sarkisian, though the two are friends and Sarkisian spent time in the Falcons’ training camp last year. Quinn may have some work to do on selling the move to his other offensive assistants, some of whom may be miffed that they were passed over for the job. Josina Anderson of ESPN reported that some of the assistants on the Falcons’ staff found out about Sarkisian’s hiring through the media, which can’t be great for morale.

Sarkisian runs a similar system to Shanahan, with similar terminology, so the Falcons will not have to learn a new offense. But Sarkisian will have to prove he can keep the offense humming after Shanahan turned the Falcons into the No. 1 offense in the NFL.

Yeah, that was why USC fired him. I got the impression when Saban made him OC that he was on the right path, hopefully for Sark, he stays on the right path.

Nevermind, I was thinking USC fired him on the tarmac, that was Lane Kiffin.

Chip Kelly coaching under Saban? I don't see it. That is two enormous egos there. I know Kiffin had a big ego but he never really backed it up with great success so he was just a blowhard. Kelly on the otherhand is an established college head coach. He has proven, set ways to do things, that are not Saban ways.

If I was a college with a mediocre coach, that was big enough to lure Kelly, I'd be calling him.

Kelly should take a year to network and line something up. He is a college head coach. He should stick to that.
