Interesting. I wonder how long that's gonna last.

It's a scout/advisor role, so I don't think either side anticipates it being a long term thing

what's that fat f***s role as scout/advisor? Restaurant scout? Advising Bill on great donut and pastry shops are around the hotels on away games?

I think behind the scenes Saban has taken a little bit of the role of messiah in rescuing coaches career's. And, rightfully why shouldn't he. He has a track record now with Sark and Kiff. They come in with clear marching orders and have a chip on their shoulder to prove themselves worthy again. That's a pretty good combo to have in assistant coach.

I get why Enos bailed on Michigan for Bama after a week. Look at the career trajectory for Bama assistant's, even ones that had previously been dispatched head coaches. It's a no brainer if they come calling and you are desperate to rescue your career. I am a little surprised he didn't grab Bielema too. Saban's NFL equivalent did though.

first, i agree with most about the freeze (potential) hire. didn't like it and glad it didn't happen.
second, i'd like to point out kiff and sark aren't the only former hc saban has hired. nor the first.
current oc, locksley, was a prior hc at new mexico st and interim at maryland.
bobby williams was rb coach for a long while. at msu.
kevin steele at baylor.
pannunzio at murray st.
christobal at fiu.
and now butch jones (not a fan of this either. nor was i a fan of kiffin hire). might be missing some.
