No outrunning his past, Alabama’s Steve Sarkisian ready for another head-coaching job
-
Editor’s Note: This story ran on Nov. 4. With Steve Sarkisian winning the Broyles Award, which annually goes to college football’s top assistant coach, we are bringing it back.
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 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.
Yes, Alabama agreed to increase his salary to $2.5 million per year, but he also valued the stability of his role as offensive coordinator. He was learning so much. Of coach Nick Saban, he said, “I’m with a really good mentor.”
The old Steve Sarkisian might not have looked at it quite the same way. He might have jumped at the chance to strike out on his own — never mind how difficult it is to win at Colorado — and take the next step in rewriting the story of a career that once seemed all but lost. But the old Steve Sarkisian is gone. Lane Kiffin looks at his friend today and calls him “Sark Nowadays.”
Sark Nowadays doesn’t yell so much. The fire’s still there, but he has mellowed. His blood pressure is a little lower, Kiffin said.
Sark Nowadays, Kiffin said, is better suited than he ever was to handle working alongside the prickly Saban. So far, there hasn’t been a single public blowup.
Kiffin and Sarkisian still joke about the good old days when they were hotshot assistants under coach Pete Carroll at USC and how Kiffin once asked Sarkisian to pick up his laundry. He’ll never live that down. They grew up in coaching together and ended up competing as head coaches three times. Kiffin is proud that he went 2-1 in those contests, but he added, “And then he got my job when I was fired at USC.”
Sarkisian lasted less than two seasons in L.A. before his alcohol abuse became apparent, and he was let go. Eleven months later, Kiffin helped get Sarkisian on staff at Alabama.
Kiffin, who is back in the SEC as head coach at Ole Miss, said of himself and Sarkisian: “It’s been a wild ride.”
“He’s done a remarkable job,” Kiffin added. “I thought after the year with Tua [Tagovailoa] and all the records last year, I thought he was going to go take that Colorado job.
“I wish he would have. Maybe we would have beaten Alabama if he wasn’t there. But he stayed, and that says a lot.”
It says that Sarkisian has changed. It also says that he’s willing to be patient.
Because if Colorado was ready to make Sarkisian a head coach in February, it’s safe to say that what he has done since then, coaching a quarterback in the thick of the Heisman Trophy race and orchestrating one of the best offenses in college football, will have even more suitors calling.
There’s no outrunning his past, but Sarkisian seems to be on the verge of getting a second chance. An industry source told ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg just last month, “Sark is a lot more hirable. I don’t think anybody will have a lot of questions.”
Sark Nowadays isn’t the same person Kiffin connected with in the early 2000s at USC. Back then, Kiffin coached receivers, Sarkisian the quarterbacks. They were together constantly, ragging on each other. They even carpooled to work.
Kiffin came from coaching royalty as the son of defensive guru Monte Kiffin. Sarkisian, on the other hand, was just a kid from Torrance, California, who went to El Camino College and BYU. He was out of the Canadian Football League and working in a cubicle in the software industry when offensive coordinator Norm Chow brought him to USC as a grad assistant.
But it was as if Sarkisian and Kiffin shared a football mind. When they were co-coordinators, they’d draw up 10 plays each for the week’s game plan, and at least eight of them would be the same, Kiffin recalled.
“They were best friends,” former USC quarterback John David Booty said.
Sarkisian would sit beside Kiffin on the bus ride home after games, slumped over and exhausted. Kiffin would ask, “What’s up?” And Sarkisian would tell him it felt as if he’d competed in the game himself.
Kiffin was more the laid-back type. Sarkisian, Booty said, was intense and approached every snap in practice as if it could be the last.
“He’s going to push you and push you and push you,” Booty said. “And at the end of the day, we’re glad he did.”
Mark Sanchez knows that side of Sarkisian well. But Sanchez, who played quarterback at USC from 2005 to ’08, said Sarkisian knew when to dial it back, too. If you were having a bad day, Sarkisian would pull your face mask in close and whisper so other players couldn’t hear.
This practice, Sarkisian would say, is slow and stinks.
Sanchez recalled the rest of the conversation.
“There’s one guy that can fix this, and I’m talking to him right now,” Sarkisian would say. “You get it? Fix it, please. Now you’re going to run wrist band, red seven. Go!”
Having played the quarterback position, Sarkisian understood the pressure that came with it and made it about having fun. Yogi Roth, an assistant on staff, said Sarkisian would tell quarterbacks, “You don’t have to be the guy who has a statue outside the stadium.”
He wanted them to let it rip, to play with confidence. If he asked about throwing a slant, he wanted them to say they wanted to throw a slant-and-go and take that shot deep. “All gas, no brakes,” was a familiar phrase Sarkisian tossed out in meeting rooms.
Sanchez would walk in late at night and watch Sarkisian drawing up plays.
“He would go through different series,” Sanchez said. “Like, ‘Oh, s—, we’re going to hit them with the A-12 divide for Z getaway. Oh, God, Ronald Johnsonis going to blow the top off these motherf—ers. And if it’s not there, you can dump it down to your comeback. That would be Patrick Turner. That would be No. 1 for the USC Football Trojans. And if he doesn’t get it, we’ll just dump it down to another five-star guy.'”
It was like Jon Gruden grinning wildly about running Spider 2, Y Banana. In fact, Sanchez said Sarkisian reminds him some of Gruden, and Kiffin added that Sarkisian does a killer Gruden impersonation.
If Sarkisian thought you weren’t as amped as he was, he’d call you out. Sanchez remembers Sarkisian challenging him once, “Hey, bro, if I’m talking too fast for you, you want to take a break? You want to get a Mountain Dew or something? You OK? You gettin’ a little sleepy?”
Then he’d dive back into the play sheet.
“That’s a touchdown if you throw a dime like I would,” Sanchez remembered Sarkisian saying. “If not, you have Anthony McCoy running the wheel. And if not, you can dump it down to Stafon Johnson. How about that? Let him scamper off. See, what we’re doing here is throwing four guys into one area. We are flooding and overflowing the defensive side. They can’t cover all four. Trust your eyes. Trust your feet. Boom! We’re in!'”
Said Sanchez: “You’re just like, whaaaat? This is so awesome.”
When Sarkisian got his first head-coaching job at Washington, he was the same way. Doug Nussmeier was offensive coordinator, and it was clear to him early on that Sarkisian knew exactly where he wanted to go and what the organization should look like.
They took over an 0-12 program that hadn’t gone to a bowl game in seven years. Nussmeier said Sarkisian was confident and infused everyone with that feeling.
“He’s one of the sharpest X’s and O’s coaches I’ve ever been around,” Nussmeier said. “When you get in a room with him, he’s going 180 miles per hour. He has an infectious personality. It’s go, go, go. You can see his mind working and how he’s always a step ahead.
“It’s fun, and it’s energizing. It’s wide-open.”
The Huskies beat USC. They beat Nebraska. They went to three straight bowl games. In five seasons, they finished with a record of 34-29.
Then USC fired Kiffin, and the Trojans brought back Sarkisian.
Then everything started falling apart.
They didn’t know, Kiffin said, just how good they had it. Back when they were young coaches at USC, they didn’t look around and recognize that double-digit wins weren’t a given, that two Heisman Trophy quarterbacks in three years wasn’t the norm, that competing in three consecutive national championships wasn’t how most seasons would end.
They didn’t know that it wasn’t real life they were experiencing. It was history.
“And then, when you get to the top and it’s taken away, it hits you,” Kiffin said. “You spend your whole life, and you don’t ever get a job like that, and it’s gone. And that’s hard to deal with because you don’t ever know if you’re going to get back there again.”
But perspective comes from failure, whether you’re ready for it or not. And failure forces you to confront your ego, Kiffin said.
Kiffin got a head start on that process when USC athletic director Pat Haden called him off the team bus and fired him on a tarmac midseason in 2013. Two years later, Sarkisian suffered a similar fate. But there weren’t airplanes taxiing when Haden told Sarkisian that he was out at USC; it was worse than that. There were reports and troubling video of Sarkisian showing up to work drunk, and just like that, his career prospects were nil.
Sarkisian later revealed in a lawsuit filed against USC that he had undergone “intensive” treatment, and in 2017, he told reporters that his alcoholism was “something I have to work on every single day, and I do work on it every single day.” (Sarkisian and Alabama assistants are not permitted to speak to the media during the season.)
Picking up the pieces, Sarkisian was ready to go into TV as an analyst. Then Kiffin told his boss at the time, Saban, that Sarkisian might be worth bringing in as an analyst — a low-profile, off-the-field position that Saban has made a habit of offering to recently fired head coaches looking for fresh starts.
Sarkisian said no at first. To this day, Kiffin doesn’t know what made him change his mind. But Kiffin said there are two types of coaches: those who can make the transition to the periphery of the game and those who eat, sleep and breathe ball and can’t stand not being at the center of it all. Sarkisian is the latter — someone who thrives on the schematics of the game. “He’s brilliant,” Kiffin said.
The deal was finished for Sarkisian to join Alabama before the season opener against USC that year, but Saban held off making it official until a few days after the game. Right away, Sarkisian got to work as Kiffin’s right-hand man in charge of game-planning for first-down and red zone situations.
William Vlachos, a former Alabama offensive lineman-turned-analyst, said it took only four days for Sarkisian to learn all the offensive terminology. What’s more, Sarkisian sat in on meetings and learned all of the team’s defensive verbiage.
You could tell right away, Vlachos said, how much trust existed between Sarkisian and Kiffin. That first game in the coaches box, Sarkisian was “on fire,” Vlachos said.
“He knew what plays to recommend to Lane and knew the words: You need to do this, this and this,” Vlachos recalled. “Then he’s looking back at me like, ‘They brought this blitz.’ It was unbelievable how he could regurgitate and process that quickly.”
Vlachos, who’s on staff at Colorado now, saw a lot of former head coaches come through Tuscaloosa to learn at the feet of Saban. If you’re looking to become a head coach again, being an analyst who makes five figures at Alabama can be more valuable long-term than earning seven figures as a coordinator elsewhere. Kiffin calls it getting the “Saban Stamp.”
“I don’t think Sark was there for Sark necessarily,” Vlachos said. “You get two different kind of mindsets in those roles, and I’ve been in most of them. Some people are there just for them. But, dude, I think Sark was there to help us. This guy was grinding on tape. This guy was there early as heck in the morning watching this, going over that, drawing this up, drawing that up.”
When Kiffin left a week before the national championship game to start his duties as head coach at Florida Atlantic, Saban could have turned to any of his on-field assistants to take over as playcaller. He tabbed Sarkisian.
Alabama lost to Clemson 35-31, but looking back, it was a difficult situation, shifting gears that suddenly. Even so, Sarkisian managed to produce 473 yards and 31 points with a true freshman quarterback he hadn’t coached hands-on all season.
And isn’t Alabama supposed to win every game under those circumstances? Before Deshaun Watsondid his thing, Alabama was 50-1 in games under Saban in which it had at least 30 points and 450 yards of offense.
“It’s hard to be prepared for something like that,” Vlachos said. “He did as good a job as you could have done from that spot.”
Saban thought enough of Sarkisian that he promoted him to offensive coordinator. When Sarkisian left to join the Atlanta Falcons and was then let go after two seasons, Saban brought him right back to Alabama, where he has been ever since.
Roth has become a fixture of the Pac-12 Network as an analyst, but given that there has been no Pac-12 football to watch this season, he has found himself tuning in to a lot of SEC games.
It has been more than a decade, but Alabama now is the closest thing Roth has seen to what they were able to accomplish at USC under Carroll. There are weapons everywhere on offense, he said. Instead of Dwayne Jarrett and Mike Williams, it’s DeVonta Smith and John Metchie III. Instead of Reggie Bush, it’s Najee Harris. Instead of Matt Leinart or Mark Sanchez, it’s Mac Jones.
“It’s like a video game: Which star receiver am I going to get the ball to?” Roth said.
Alabama is averaging 555.2 yards and an FBS-best 47.2 points per game. Jones, who entered the season with only four career starts, is the Heisman front-runner, with 2,196 yards, 16 touchdowns and two interceptions through six games. His 77.4 completion percentage is six points higher than Tagovailoa’s career high last season.
Roth said the only difference now is how Sarkisian is pulling the strings. Sark Nowadays is almost statuesque on the sideline. Sanchez insists that the juice is still there, but he’s not so in-your-face about it.
Some of that is the result of Sarkisian’s fitting in with the more buttoned-up style of Saban. There’s little doubt, though, that it’s also a function of growing older and evolving.
Whether you ask Sanchez or Booty or Roth or Kiffin, they share pride in the way Sarkisian went through a tough time at USC and has come out on the other side. He didn’t tell them what he was going to do or how he was going to change. He just put his head down and did it, Sanchez said.
The only question now is what will happen next. When Saban tested positive for COVID-19 the week of the Georgia game, he chose Sarkisian to handle all the head-coaching duties until he could return. There’s some talk that Sarkisian might be in line to replace Saban.
Although Kiffin might wish Sarkisian would leave Alabama for selfish reasons, he has no doubt that his friend is ready to be a head coach again. Remember, Kiffin said, Sarkisian was a good coach before all of this happened. He took over a winless Washington and beat No. 3 USC in his first year.
“I know he’ll be great,” Kiffin said, “and he’ll be even better from being with Coach [Saban] over these years. He’ll be one of the elite college coaches in America.”

Frank Broyles, Barry Switzer, and Bobby Burnett (L-R) (1965 Cotton Bowl)
The 1964 football Hog football team:
Arkansas Photos Picture – 1964 Arkansas Football Team
Jim Harris: Leading Arkansas to the Top – Frank Broyles’ Coaching Legacy Endures
Editor’s Note: This is the second in a four-part series about Frank Broyles, the former Arkansas head football coach and athletic director, whose career at Arkansas came to an end earlier this month with his retirement in Fayetteville. Part one is available here.
As a college football player, Frank Broyles had the kind of career that, had he been an Arkansas Razorback, would make him still one of the most talked about Hogs of all time. However, when Broyles was 21 during the 1946 football season he was as far away from being a Hog as possible — Arkansas probably didn’t enter his mind at all.
He was such a football star at Georgia Tech, then in the Southeastern Conference, in 1944 that he was named the SEC’s player of the year, playing single-wing quarterback and setting all kinds of passing records. His single-game Orange Bowl passing stats lasted until Tom Brady came around in 2000 with Michigan to finally break them.
Broyles could have continued with his football career in the pros — the NFL’s Chicago Bears drafted him after the 1946 season — but he already knew that coaching was in his blood.
He had been the coach on the field for Georgia Tech’s legendary Bobby Dodd and he was ready to continue that on the sidelines. Arkansas’ sidelines, however, were still probably furthest from his mind. Arkansas football was still not something talked about beyond perhaps Southwest Conference borders until 1946, when John Barnhill took his first Razorback team to the Cotton Bowl and tied LSU 0-0 in a game that followed an ice storm that hit the Dallas area before New Year’s.
To understand Broyles as a coach, one must look at the coaches under whom he learned the game, starting with Dodd, who had excelled as a player under Gen. Bob Neyland at Tennessee and took that vast knowledge to Atlanta to turn Georgia Tech into a power through the 1950s.
Arkansas, tasting some SWC success in the 1930s, made its first serious move to be a football power in hiring John Barnhill, who had been Neyland’s aide-de-camp at Knoxville and took over as Vols head coach when Neyland went to war. When Neyland returned from WWII, Barnhill had to find an open head coaching job to continue serving in that role, and Arkansas beckoned.
This would begin the change that brought Broyles to Fayetteville and started the Hogs on their greatest run of football success.
After Broyles’ playing career ended, he was hired by former Neyland assistant Bob Woodruff as his offensive coach at Baylor. It was in 1948 that Broyles would see Fayetteville on a football sideline for the first time, and in the SWC he’d already begun to witness what was happening in Arkansas as Barnhill’s program took hold and what was possible there.
Woodruff, after turning Baylor into a winner, would take Broyles, who was already gaining a strong reputation as an offensive mind, to Florida in 1950. This was not the Florida Gator program that we know of today, but rather one that needed some solid foundation established. Woodruff would be the man who did that over the next decade. Broyles was there for year one before Dodd summoned him back to Atlanta to coach the Yellow Jackets’ offense.
During his time back at Georgia Tech, Broyles would be credited with inventing the “belly” series or running, utilizing an option between the quarterback and fullback at the point of attack that was difficult for defenses to read or defend (that “belly” series would become instrumental piece of the vaunted Wishbone offensive attack beginning in the late ’60s). Georgia Tech also would be to college football what Florida State later became in the 1990s, as it dominated the bowl season with win after win during the 1950s. One of those came against Arkansas in the 1955 Cotton Bowl, 14-6, giving Broyles another glimpse of what an excited Razorback fan base could look like. The 1954 Hogs that ended up in Dallas were Bowden Wyatt’s second and last team before he would light out for Tennessee and the Vols’ head coaching job. Wyatt ignited strong passion about the Hogs, taking the “25 Little Pigs” from a 3-7 team the year before (and a run of four straight non-winning seasons) to 7-3 and SWC champions, as well as 6-0 upset winners of SEC powerhouse Ole Miss.
When Broyles finally got the Arkansas job, after one year at Missouri, in 1958, he quickly assembled a coaching staff that included Little Rock Central icon Wilson Matthews, who had probably hoped to one day be Arkansas’ coach after his incredible high school coaching run. Matthews would end up being Broyles’ “bad cop” to the head coach’s “nice cop” style — a perfect pairing, it turned out. (Matthews would later be Broyles’ man, when Broyles became athletic director, to build the football donation system that became the Razorback Foundation. Again, Broyles as the politician with would-be boosters, while Matthews was the tough-guy chief of staff, and eventually no one could say “no” to their requests.)
Broyles espoused all the ideals that Neyland had won with at Tennessee, that Dodd had won with at Georgia Tech and that Woodruff had succeeded with at Baylor and Florida — defense and the kicking game came first. Broyles did not outright copy the General’s famed “Seven Maxims,” but it ran through every aspect of the Hogs’ program beginning in 1958 — such as, the team that made the fewest mistakes would win. Broyles played the game with a focus on field position and capitalizing on an opponents’ errors. His offensive ingenuity also kept the Razorbacks a step ahead of most of the competition and allowed them to match all-powerful Texas at times.
Just as Neyland’s, Dodd’s and Woodruff’s staffs produced legendary coaches to follow, Broyles’ Arkansas coaching staffs became a tree that would seed a forest of future powerhouses or restore to greatness the fallen ones.
Try to imagine today any Arkansas staff producing a coach who immediately would become the head coach at Oklahoma, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Iowa State, SMU,
Clemson, Virginia Tech or North Carolina State. That’s the type of coaching talent Broyles’ staffs contained. Broyles could point to one of his previous hires, such as Doug Dickey in the early 1960s, and could interest a coach on the way up that spending some time at Fayetteville, even at low wages, was the ticket to a nice head coaching gig.
One of those hires was Hayden Fry, who had played quarterback for Woodruff and Broyles at Baylor and who took over when Dickey went from the UA to Tennessee. Fry, later as the coach who would turn Iowa around after successful stops at SMU and North Texas, would take a walk-on from Illinois and turn him into a solid defensive lineman and team captain, and then get him started in the coaching business: Hogs current head coach Bret Bielema.
Broyles’ coaching legacy stretched to the pros, with former assistants Jimmy Johnson, Joe Gibbs and Barry Switzer winning Super Bowls, while Raymond Berry coached a Super Bowl contender in New England. Many other assistants left after tutelage from Broyles to eventually land at college powerhouses where they either won titles or became coaching icons in their own right, such as Johnny Majors and Jackie Sherrill.
Broyles’ own 1964 defensive and punt returning star, Ken Hatfield, would answer Broyles call to bring his innovative “flexbone” offense from Air Force, where he had turned a floundering program with built-in talent deficiencies completely around, to lead the Hogs from 1984-89, winning consecutive SWC championships at the end of that run. One of Broyles’ last recruits as a head coach, Little Rock prep quarterbacking sensation Houston Nutt, would later return as Razorback head coach in December 1997 and immediately reestablish the excitement in the Razorback football brand in 1998, the same way Bowden Wyatt had done in his short tenure in Fayetteville. Nutt would be Broyles’ last football hire.
But the great coach’s legacy as the mentor to top assistants remains every year in the form of the Broyles Award, presented to the nation’s top assistant coach as determined by nominations from FBS head coaches and with the finalists and winner chosen by a select crew of former national coaching greats. The award is best defined by the trophy, showing the typical Broyles sideline pose of the 1960s with his chief assistant, Wilson Matthews, beside him and bent at the hips, hands on the knees, intently watching the action. The trophy could easily feature Broyles at the side of Bobby Dodd or Bob Woodruff, too, as an able assistant coach with a great mind making a huge difference on the sideline; because before he was one of the winningest coaches in college football history and a Hall of Famer, Broyles was clearly one of the best assistants.
Perhaps we will know Arkansas football has returned to its zenith of the Broyles’ days when Hog assistant coaches again are being pursued by college football’s biggest names to be not just part of their staffs, but hired as their head coaches.
