Most of it was just hear say over the years and just blown off as a silly rumor. Saban didn't really have success in the NFL before, but he wasn't coaching a 13-0 team either so expectations were probably different then. I know it sounds as far fetched as Aliens visiting our planet, but lol you have got to think, what would he have to lose? Coaching a Browns team that probably averages just one or two wins a year and turning around one of the worse NFL teams in history does sound interesting. Any thoughts?

Saban knows he will never make it in the NFL without a huge talent gap over his opponents.

If Cleveland gets a decent bowl game, sure.

Otherwise, why? The Browns job will never approach the attractiveness of the Miami job he got in 2005, and he ran away from that.

Cleveland wouldn’t want him. He’s perfect where he is.

Then he’d have to deal with the salary cap.

Saban is going to retire from Bama. He is never going to coach anywhere else.

Don't think so. He is a control freak and that won't happen in the NFL. Also, there is more parity in the NFL so he wouldn't be able to dominate like he does at Bama. Saban has a little man complex and will quit as soon as he isn't always on top.

Cleveland is owned by the Haslam. Did you see the UT coaching search?

He's a huge fan of the Eagles. Do they have a special area in the Rock and Roll HoF?

The NFL has a salary cap, so he would be at a disadvantage there.

Wishing it will happen will not make it true. Saban's gonna head off to his Georgia lake home when he's ready. It will happen when it happens.

Why would he go to the Browns when by staying at Alabama he gets amazing yearly entertainment from the LSU-fan wailing and gnashing of teeth? LSU fans are still butt hurt from his successful escape from that cesspool of crime and decay, Baton Rouge, 13 years ago. And they are still in screaming denial and despair from 21-0. Why would you forgo that yearly laugh and pleasure?

I think there is only one scenario where Saban would seriously consider a return to the NFL. Belichick suddenly dies and NE calls.

Isn't Saban like 79? His next stop's assisted living, not the NFL.
