Sarkisian is expected to become the team’s offensive coordinator, sources told ESPN’s Chris Low. Former co-offensive coordinator Josh Gattis left the Tide recently for Michigan, and former quarterbacks coach and associate head coach Dan Enos, who reportedly was in line to be Alabama’s offensive coordinator and playcaller next season, left Friday to become Miami’s offensive coordinator.
Sarkisian was previously the head coach at USC and Washington. Before joining the Falcons, his only NFL coaching experience came in 2004, when he was the Oakland Raiders‘ quarterbacks coach under then-head coach Norv Turner.
