Steve Sarkisian has plenty of memories of working at Alabama with Nick Saban, but how about the time he made Saban the most upset?

The Texas coach shared that memory this week with Bob Ballou of CBS Austin. It came during fall camp of 2019, Sarkisian’s first season on the Alabama staff. Sarkisian was in the midst of adding some things to go with the existing offense.

“He was asking for a specific formation and I could not get it right,” Sarkisian said. “I was calling formations based off of how I know them. He wanted to make sure they were learning some of my new stuff and I needed to learn their way as well. The straw hat flew, the practice stopped, and I was kind of stuck out in the middle of the field thinking, ‘I just want to get this stupid formation right and get him off my ass.”

Sarkisian then relayed a hilarious, but valid point: “You’ve never coached at Alabama if you haven’t gotten your ass ripped by Coach Saban. So I got a good ass chewing from him.”
