I just have a feeling that he will be NFL bound after his dynasty is complete. Flame away.

Why are you angry? That's good for us.

That said, his job hopping days are finally over. He's at Bama til he retires which likely isn't for a little while

Call me crazy, but I am also thinking he is going to get an amazing offer and he will be in Cleveland.

He was the Dc in Cleveland a long time ago when belechik was there as hc.

He likes building up teams to HIS liking. That's nearly impossible to do that with a pro team where players are locked into contracts. He can't exactly trade 'em all!

He should stay so we can beat him more. Discovered I have quite a taste for it.

Because he did so well and left the NFL on such good terms.

He will wind up his coaching career at Penn State.

I think he thought he wanted to do NFL then saw how little control he has over his talent when he was there. I just can't see him doing that again, specifically at his age. Maybe if Bama gets into similar trouble to USC when Pete Carrol left.

More likely scenario for his departure is he goes 9-3 next year, the arrogant Bama fans get restless, and he takes some ridiculous record setting offer ($8-10M a year) from somewhere like tu.

Saban is going to end his career at Alabama and retire a legend.

he's been there, done that and not very well. why would he go again?

MSC is right. Saban will end his career as a legend at Bama.

He's done the NFL thing and didn't like it.

Saban is already a legend.

He's a top 5 coach of all time.

So Dodds didn't offer? Is that the takeaway here?

He is not leaving Bama.

He's not leaving Bama.

He's not even entertaining tu-austin.

One thing that is constant in Saban's career is he likes schools that are NOT full of politics and outside influence. No way tu-austin can meet that standard.

He will go if he is offered a piece of ownership. It is going to happen.

Ownership of what? Merchandise, LHN, AD position?

He's talking about the NFL.
DaDawg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ahh, my mistake.

But I still don't see it UNLESS he sees himself as an NFL owner longterm and wants to leverage his coaching short term to achieve this.

Outside of that, why in the world would he complicate his life to that degree? Really can't be money, Alabama would match anything but an insane offer.

I suspect because he wants to prove he's the best. Most great men do. However, I don't think he'll leave Alabama just yet.
DaDawg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I suppose, but I'm sure Steve Spurrier could give Saban some sound career advice concerning jumping from a premier college job to the NFL.

I'd hate to see him jump to the NFL.

He already tried the NFL and if I remember right, he wasn't fired, he decided to leave.

Rumor has it that Tennessee alum Jimmy Haslam, who owns the Browns, is wanting to lure Saban out of Tuscaloosa and has offered Jon Gruden a share of the Browns if he accepts the UT job. I would not put it past Ha-SLAM, baby - you f*** with these guys and they f*** back!

He's not leaving, IMHO. The NFL just isn't his kind of gig.

This is from Memphis local newschannel 3:

quote:

“News Channel 3 has learned former NFL coach Jon Gruden has a contract offer in hand from the University of Tennessee and a decision could be made as early as (today).

Part of the offer is Gruden getting a piece of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, who were recently bought by Jimmy Haslam III, one of UT’s biggest boosters.”

That is way overpaying for Gruden...I bet other owners are gonna chit a brick if coaches start demanding that.

Good lord. SEC coaches are now paid in NFL teams. If he wins the conference will he get a raise to 3 NFL teams/year?

that is some serious desperation right there.

Gruden has apparently denied that he got the offer.
