Saban to the Colts

[RamblinWreck09]

Rumblings that Isray is going after Saban, might offer Gruden level money.

 

[JJacket]

Saban ain't going anywhere.

 

[jdubjacket]

Yeah, no.

 

[LegendaryGT]

Irsay has been smoking crack if he thinks...

Wait, actually that's true.

Isray is the most entertaining owner in the NFL

Why would Saban take a lesser job?

 

[AugustaJacket]

Can't see Saban going back to NFL esp. since he's only tied with Bear for MNCs

 

[Diseqc]

He’s too old. He’s much more likely to just retire.

He's not going to retire until he gets #7.

Saban already gets paid Gruden level money.

 

[wesleyd21]

Yeah, because he was sooooo good in the NFL

Put a question mark in the title if its a rumor

Not a rumor. It's happening. The Saban vs Belichick games are going to be epic.

Belichick isn't coming, so Colts should try to hire the next best guy - Nick Saban

"Hey Coach, that's a good thing you've got going on down there at Alabama. Too bad you'll always be the next best guy. Unless, you know, you want another chance to prove yourself..."

Saban is already making over million dollars more a year than the Raiders will be giving Gruden -- so they'll have to do better than Gruden level money.

I just don’t see Saban being successful in the NFL.

He’s not going anywhere that he doesn’t have full GM level control over the team. And that sort of scenario is usually unsuccessful. Plus, pros hated playing for him. They’d call him Nick just to piss him off. That shit doesn’t fly in college, but what is Nick going to do about a dude with a huge contract he can’t cut?

Already been down this road.

Already been down this road.

There’s a good story about how at Miami the players embarrassed the hell out of Saban with a stripper and laughed at him to his face over it.

No way that shit flys at Alabama. Those players would be gone instantly. But the pros are different, his persona doesn’t mesh there where everybody is a millionaire.

 

[LagrangeJacket]

As others in the thread have stated, the NFL would have to offer Bama-level money.

Saban is 66 years old, and only needs 1 more natty to break his current tie with Bear Bryant. He's not going anywhere, and will coach until he wins one more.
