A little earlier this year on hoping Saban leaves, huh? Squeaking by bad teams got you nervous?

Exactly the same thing happened last year against MSU - I'm not nervous because we won @ Auburn.
I'm not hoping Saban leaves, I really don't care. Everybody has to deal with coaching changes every 5 to 8 years, statistically. Saban is going to retire, die or leave Bama in the future.
However, if you want to think he's not out there probing every possible vacancy, go ahead - doesn't mean he isn't doing it. If the right opportunity comes along, he will go. There are only a handful of opportunities that could sway him, and Texas and the Cowboys are 2 on the very, very short list. If Penn State hadn't imploded, that would have been another one (one that, ironically, money wouldn't have been as significant a factor).
Bama's problem is - ya'll can outbid most suitors - but, again, Texas and the Cowboys are on the short list of those you cannot. Anyway, good luck with Kirby Smart or whoever.

I'm in no way suggesting Saban wouldn't or couldn't be offered by an NFL team. But to suggest that NFL team's wouldn't be interested in him is just asinine.
His former boss, Belichik, no doubt would have been labeled an NFL bust based solely on his first attempt, but he worked his way back into another shot - just as Saban is doing right now.
It would definitely take the right situation for Saban to succeed, and there are no garuntees that he would, but surely Belichick and Tom Coughlin are examples that that mindset can work at the NFL level.Not to mention, Saban came back to the college game better than when he left, who's to say he wouldn't do the same with the Pro level - learning from his past mistakes.
