The morning after offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin helped Alabama dismantle USC, it appears that another former Trojans coach — Steve Sarkisian — might join the Crimson Tide staff. Sarkisian is on his way to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to “discuss a role” as special assistant to the offense for the No. Sarkisian has been out of college football since 2015, when USC fired him at mid-season because of erratic behavior and other alcohol-related issues. The former coach filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the university, claiming he should have been allowed to seek treatment for alcoholism. If Sarkisian were to join Alabama, it would mark a reunion for him and Kiffin, who became known as “Sarkiffian” when they jointly handled the Trojan offense under Pete Carroll in the mid-2000s.
