Doug Jones has the perfect idea for Saru if he taught at Starfleet Academy

As the end credits of Star Trek: Discovery unfolded on the last episode, it struck me deeply how much I would miss the character of Saru, portrayed by Doug Jones. Originally a Kelpien, an innovative species in the Star Trek universe, Saru embarked on a personal voyage that transformed him from fear to embracing power. Following his removal of the threat ganglia, he evolved into an exceptional leader, and it’s hard for me to envision any character as unique as Saru. However, perhaps I won’t have to, since even though Discovery has concluded, the characters remain part of canon, implying there’s a possibility that Saru might reappear.
