Flood will also likely receive the offensive coordinator title and a commensurate salary boost with Sarkisian calling plays.
In Flood’s second season in Tuscaloosa, the Alabama offensive line won the Joe Moore Award on Tuesday as the best offensive line in college football this season. Quarterback Mac Jones was only sacked 12 times in 2020, once for every 42.1 dropbacks, and ranked second nationally in rushing touchdowns with 35.
