Steve Sarkisian reveals he couldn’t get a job interview in 2015 before Nick Saban gave him a $30,000/yr analyst job that saved his career
“In 2015, I had gotten fired at USC, gone to recovery, started working on me personally. Coming out of that, I couldn’t get a job. In 2016, I was ready to go do TV.”
“I couldn’t get an interview for a job. And Nick Saban saved my career. He offered me an analyst job. I was willing to do it for free.”
“But he said, ‘I gotta pay you $30,000 so you can get benefits.’ I said, ‘Okay, I’ll do that.’ I’m forever indebted to him. Because at that time, somebody in life has got to give all of us a second chance.”
“It totally changed my perspective. It changed my perspective on how I coach. How I deal with our players. Because everybody’s going through stuff. Everybody’s got stuff.”
“Whatever your stuff is, you’re just trying to get through it. If I can be that guy that can extend that olive branch to our players as we go through this journey, I always lean back to that time.”
“Here’s the greatest coach of all time in our era. For whatever reason, he saw something in me. He gave me a chance. He gave me a shot.”
“From there, he actually makes me the offensive coordinator for the National Championship game against Clemson. And I was an analyst. I wasn’t even a coach.”

Real human stuff here. The game means a lot to him and you can tell.
Mamdani and AOC laughing while names of victims of 9/11 are being read should be in every single campaign ad in every single city in America until November.
This is the Democratic Socialist Party.
They hate you. They hate America.

@thelastraza@realMaalouf The Crusades … you mean the defensive response to hundreds of years of Muslim aggression? After the fall of Christian Syria, Levant, Egypt, Latvia, and Spain. The Muslim attacks into the heart of Europe. Screw off. The Crusades were righteous.
