Could the Dallas Cowboys go after Nick Saban?
Former New England Patriots Bills Belichick has been a favorite potential candidate linked to the Cowboys for next season. However, Belichick has been linked to just about every job vacancy in the league. One intriguing option for the Cowboys could be former Alabama coach Nick Saban.
Per Chris Low with ESPN, Saban said he retired from Alabama due to health reasons. But the health reasons Saban cited sounded more like he was tired by the long days college coaches have to put in. Being a college coach in the current NIL era is more taxing than it used to be.
Other coaches and former college players think Saban left Alabama because of the changes in college football. While Saban publicly denies that, he hasn’t ruled out a return to the NFL where he wouldn’t have to clock in to hit the recruiting trail.
Saban could be the perfect hire for Jones and the Cowboys if the team can’t land Belichick. The 72-year-old head coach has proven he wins championships with talented teams. Saban’s lone stint as a head coach in the NFL didn’t work out because the Miami Dolphins roster was junk.
Saban wouldn’t have that problem in Dallas. He could prove himself as one of the greatest coaches of all time at either level by winning a Super Bowl with the Cowboys. The Cowboys have a short window with this current roster to win a championship, and Jones isn’t getting any younger.
If Jones could convince Saban that the hard work has been done in building a winning roster in Dallas, the Cowboys could have one of the greatest football minds on the sideline in the playoffs next year

Cowboys Urged to Make Wild Move for Former $93 Million Coach
he Dallas Cowboys may soon be in the market for a new head coach, and one name that would turn heads in the football world is former Alabama Crimson Tide legend Nick Saban. The Cowboys still have head coach Mike McCarthy under contract.
Yet, the team’s blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers in the NFC wild-card round on January 14 calls into question McCarthy’s future. Could Saban want another chance to improve the one blemish — the lack of NFL success — on his otherwise impeccable resume?
ESPN’s Kevin Clark has former Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll as Dallas’ best replacement option, an idea worthy of its own discussion. Clark also listed Saban as a close second for Dallas. Given that Saban just retired on January 10, it feels like a long shot that owner Jerry Jones would be able to lure the coach to Big D.
“The second person I would call is Nick Saban, one of the greatest coaches in the history of football,” Clark said on the January 15, 2024, episode of “This Is Football.” “[A] bad rap in Miami. …Some people say, ‘He couldn’t relate to millionaire athletes.’ That is not what happened, he said, referring to Saban’s two-year stint (2005 and 2006) as coach of the Dolphins.
