The coach on the other sideline later on today seems to think otherwise about Sarkisian and his abilities as an OC.
āThereās a lot of good offensive schemes out there, and then thereās offensive coaches who change their scheme and are constantly getting better,ā Dillingham said Monday. āI think thatās something that heās done as good if not better than anybody in the country is if you turned on his tape from 10 years ago, itās going to be unrecognizable to his tape right now. That is very challenging to do when youāre successful. When youāre successful, you want to keep doing what got you successful.
āItās very challenging to be, in my opinion, to be humble enough to constantly continually adapt to the current landscape to the rules. You canāt cut block on the perimeter, to RPOs and how they change the game in terms of substitution patterns, and now you can slow teams down that sub late. You couldnāt do that 15 years ago. He has always adapted with the game and almost been ahead of the curve a little bit, and thatās really challenging to do.ā
