Lombardi Becomes Browns GM, Saban Coach?
28Michael Lombardi, the NFL Network commentator, is rumored to be a candidate for GM in Cleveland, according to Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe. Tom Heckert is the current GM in Cleveland, hired by Mike Holmgren in 2010. However, with new ownership buying the team, Joe Banner coming in as president, and Holmgren leaving, change could be in the works. And if Lombardi is chosen, well, according to Bedard, it could be to get Nick Saban to return to the NFL...
quote:
According to the NFL sources, Saban has let it be known that if he returns to the NFL — where he flopped, going 15-17 with the Dolphins from 2005-06 — it would likely be with Lombardi playing Pioli to his Belichick.
One of Saban’s many missteps in Miami — the first being that he accepted a job he really didn’t want — was hiring a general manager in Randy Mueller who did not know the Belichick personnel system. Mueller, who was a good personnel man when running his own ship with the Saints, had to learn Saban’s system on the fly, and it never really clicked.

Merry Christmas GUMPS! NO WAY, NO WAY, NO WAY he could leave. Well, he will. LSU could have paid him whatever, could have given him whatever just like you think you can. He could have won 5 titles by now at LSU. He wants the challenge and he is going to the pros.
After he flops in the Pros, he returns to NCAA to coach AUBURN!

00Saban will only take a team that is in shambles with several losing seasons with a demoralized fan base. This type of scenario allows him to quickly implement his system getting quick results. Cleveland fits that bill but so did Miami. He won't venture back into the NFL unless he has complete control which I'm guessing Cleveland is desperate to give him. His coach speak of talking down to the media, fans, players and personnel only works in this type of situation. Saban would never take a job without this type of scenario and never has.

I guarantee you, if the Browns offered saban 10 million, Alabama boosters would match it to keep him.
If Saban leaves, it will not be for money... it will be for the challenge.

Saban can only win with players advantage, he can't win in NFL where there is parity in talent. He has to have huge talent advantage to win, otherwise, he just an ordinary coach.

For $7.5 Million and virtually complete control of the operations, Nicky is not above leaving.
If he wins his second Championship this year at Bama, there is not much left for him to accomplish. I beat he is gone if they beat the Irish and he gets the offer from Cleveland.
