Saban to Dallas?

[Qbert]

Persistent Saban-to-Dallas rumors are unfounded, for*nowPosted by Mike Florio on December 26, 2010, 6:24 PM ESTFour years ago, we repeatedly were hearing rumors that Nick Saban had enough of the NFL after less than two years as coach of the Dolphins, and that he wanted to get back to the college game.* Eventually, he was tied to Alabama.* Even though he repeatedly, and famously, denied the rumors, he eventually became the Alabama coach.Now, there are persistent rumors that he could be headed back to the NFL, to coach the Cowboys.* The rumors appear to be unfounded, for several reasons.First, Saban left the NFL because he couldn?t control an NFL team the way he can control a college team.* A master recruiter, Saban needs only to identify the best players, convince them to come to Tuscaloosa, and then turn them loose on the opposition.* At the NFL level, the talent pool is much flatter, making it harder for a control freak to get his coaching freak on.Second, and as one source with knowledge of the dynamics observed, there?s no way that Saban and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would be able to coexist.* Each man wants to do it his own way, which would set the stage for too many disagreements and friction points.Third, and most importantly from Jones? perspective, Saban didn?t exactly thrive as an NFL head coach, among other things picking Daunte Culpepper over Drew Brees.So if/when Saban says he?s not going to be the Dallas coach, he likely will be telling the truth.* For a change

Stopped reading there.

we already have enough quitters playing for the cowboys, don't need a quitter coaching the team

 

[noshame]

This would be a bigger question mark than many other choices, no way Jerry goes this route

 

[jobberone]

Not happening.

Something like this is so stupid i could actually imagine it hapenning. Sad...

Hoodie wanna be. Thats all I see.

Excellent coach, but he's where he has wanted to be and I doubt he'd leave Alabama.

 

[Eskimo]

I think he could be a coordinator in the NFL but he doesn't belong as a HC in the NFL.

I think he is where he belongs - at the head of one of the best college football programs in the country. He'll probably win a couple more championships before he calls it quits.

hell no....

 

[punit328]

would anybody be opposed to having him here to coach the secondary?

would anybody be opposed to having him here to coach the secondary?

Hmmm. Alabama head coach, with all the trimmings, perks and multi million dollar salary, v. secondary coach.



Dibs on his staying at 'Bama.

Persistent Saban-to-Dallas rumors

anyone else heard these "persistent rumors" other than Mike Florio?

 

[kristie]

hell to the N-O!!:bang2: :bang2: :bang2:

 

[Royal Laegotti]

This is just getting silly!

BTW why would Saban leave on of the most powerful coaching positions in college ball to be a Jethro puppet? He'd have to be an idiot to give that up!

I think the rumors/leaks will start pouring out in the next week or so. If Jerry is in fact working the lines, at some point someone will leak it. There are going to be 10+ HC job openings so if Jerry is going after a big name, he wont have time to wait.
