I know this won't shut up the detractors because of the similarities to him saying he wasn't leaving the Dolphins, but even they have to admit his situation now is a whole lot different in Tuscaloosa.

It seems like every offseason, Alabama head coach Nick Saban's name is mentioned for several top college and NFL openings across the country. That was the case when the Texas job became available, and it's happening again with the Indianapolis Colts' head coaching position possibly opening on the NFL's infamous Black Monday.
But in an interview with ESPN.com, Saban revealed if he would consider coaching elsewhere before retiring.
"No, I really don't. I don't see it ever happening, and I know every year somebody has me going somewhere else," Saban told ESPN.com's Chris Low. "I think a lot of it isn't just about the coaching part. What people don't understand is they forget you're a person. They forget you have a wife and two kids and a grandbaby, and they all live in Birmingham.
"They all work here. My wife goes to Birmingham five times a week. My mom lives in Birmingham now after moving from Myrtle Beach. It's not just the job. A lot of people don't get that. My life is here."
Saban also has his second-ranked Crimson Tide team in the second-ever, four-team College Football Playoff for a second consecutive year and is only two wins away from 100 career wins during his tenure in Tuscaloosa. If he defeats No. 3 Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl, Saban could obtain his 100th win in the national championship game in Arizona on Jan. 11.
Alabama and Michigan State will kick off in prime time on New Year's Eve from Arlington, Texas, at 7 p.m. on ESPN.
I know this won't shut up the detractors because of the similarities to him saying he wasn't leaving the Dolphins, but even they have to admit his situation now is a whole lot different in Tuscaloosa.

I knew most of that except for Terri coming to Bham to work. I did not know she worked outside the house and for Nick's kids.

This is also posted upstairs. It took 4 posts for a mindfricked corndog to deny it.

With the advances in modern medicine I don't think it's inconceivable for him to coach here for another 148-150 years

I bet she goes and takes care of the grandbaby.

I could see him leaving for the Colts job if we win the NC this year. Then again maybe he likes the stability of finally putting down roots somewhere.

After reading that article, you still think this is a possibility?

Just a guess, but I think Indianapolis will go after someone who is known as an offensive guru to pair with and help develop Luck. I could easily see someone like Sean Payton landing that job.

Honestly, he has to say that stuff. It doesn't mean it's not true, but it doesn't preclude him from leaving either. I don't think he's going anywhere but it wouldn't surprise me if he did even after reading that.

Anyone who ever believed he was going back to the NFL was an idiot. Never a chance. Texas was the only real threat.

I just KNEW someone would come back with this.

I hear the Colts talk. Andrew Luck. Blah blah blah. No one ever points out that their owner is a joke. That dude is high on pills or whatever. I don't see any way Saban would ever work for that man. I think he retires at Alabama. I just don't know when.
