Former USC coach Steve Sarkisian is following the path laid by former USC coach Lane Kiffin. He's joining up with the Crimson Tide.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban, speaking at his weekly seasonal Monday afternoon presser, confirmed multiple media reports that Sarkisian would join the staff as an offensive analyst.
Saban Monday PC: "We're glad to have (Steve Sarkisian) as part of the organization."

If Alabama's directory is up to date, Sarkisian marks at least 21 analysts/player personnel/ops guys on Saban's staff. Monstrous.

If he can undergo a similar transformation as Kiffin, Sarkisian would make for an excellent replacement whenever Kiffin decides to try head coaching again.
