Probably not. I think it'd be a conflict of interest for the coach in that case. It's probably safe to say they won't be hiring a college coach this time around.kenobi65 said:

Yeah, not to mention that Saban will probably never get an NFL head coaching gig again. Not that I blame him for jumping ship of a sinking team but he had uber-control so the fault really is on his shoulders.Steve Jung said:

If memory serves, this is not the first time that Nick Saban changed jobs shortly after making vociferous statements indicating that he had no interest whatsoever in doing so, and very much planned on staying in his current job. I honestly don't think you can trust the man as far as you could throw him.
Nonetheless, some eedeeot somewhere will offer him the next job, and the next...

I have no problem with him saying that he wasn't going and changing his mind. I have more of a problem with him jumping off the ship when he made a bunch of the crummy choices that have left the team in its current state. To agree with a NY radio personality - I think he looked at the QB situation and then the division and then his aging defense and wanted out when he could be a king at 'Bama.kenobi65 said:If memory serves, this is not the first time that Nick Saban changed jobs shortly after making vociferous statements indicating that he had no interest whatsoever in doing so, and very much planned on staying in his current job.

Don't forget Arizona.
If I was a head coach I would love to take either the Arizona or Pittsburgh job. Probably the Steelers first as they are very loyal to their coaches and job security wouldn't be an issue. That and they already have a solid defense in place and a QB with plenty of playoff success, not to mention a ring.
Both have some excellent players. It would be kinda neat to try and make 'Zona into a powerhouse. They have a good start on offense. They need to put together an O-line and with those receivers + Edge they should be able to put up some points.

The Steelers are a classy, well-run organization, probably one of the best in football.
The Cardinals, on the other hand...well, they might well be nice folks, but they still haven't figured out how to put a successful team on the field. Unfortunately, they've been terrible for most of the time they've been in Arizona, and I think it'd take a bigger housecleaning than they've been willing to do (including changes in upper management) to really change that.
