re: Saban, who hates Bama & cant wait to leave, turned down 6 NFL jobs in offseason

#1 - Bleacher Report =

#2 - Saban says the NFL penalizes success (What success?)

#3 - Saban can't handle a draft or free agency. He wants to be able to lure as many good people as possible without worrying about payment (that he has to manage) or waiting in line in the draft.

#4 - Saban's coaching style does not mesh well with paid players.

Now maybe 6 teams inquired on his interest in leaving, but it's pretty clear that Saban won't go back to the NFL. It goes against everything that really makes him successful which is outstanding recruiting and the ability to really drill his system into the players.

Also, as the GOAT coach in college, he can make up any narrative he wants when things go badly. Kinda like how he tried to do with blaming the medical staff for them not signing Drew Brees.
