re: Nick Saban to the Dallas Cowboys?

When Jerry Jones cleans house, Saban will probably be on his short list. Jones would love to make another Jimmy Johnson type of hire, and Saban's ego and wallet won't be able to resist the temptation.

Are there people actually talking seriously about this? Saban couldn't win in the NFL the first time. By all indications he didn't enjoy it there. Why would anyone actually believe he would take another shot at it - and why does anyone believe an owner would want to give him that shot? Makes absolutely no sense.

After some pretty bad recent coaching hires and no playoff wins in over a decade, Jerry needs to change the way he operates. You have Cowher, Dungy, Chucky and Shanahan all out of coaching right now. Each of them has at least one Superbowl ring and plenty left in their tanks. All of these guys are an upgrade from the pantload currently on that sideline. Jerry needs to make a serious run at Cowher and tell him that he will let Cowher run the team the way he wants it run. And then he needs to get out of the way.

There are too many qualified NFL head coaches available right now to resurrect a failed college-to-pro experiment.
