by Larry Leo

January 2, 201318 Comments

According to Mike Freeman of CBS Sports, NFL teams have been reaching out to Alabama head coach Nick Saban to find out if he’s interested in making a return to the NFL. He’s made it clear that he wants to stay at Alabama.

quote:
"NFL teams that have been inquiring about Alabama coach Nick Saban in recent days and weeks have been told in no uncertain terms: thanks, but no thanks.

At least so far. Some franchises with vacancies have sent feelers towards Saban and the Alabama coach regarding his seriousness about returning to the NFL. He has told these inquirers that he isn’t coming back."

Can't blame him. He was no success in the league and when teams have equal talent, he has proven that he is no better gameday coach than anyone else.

"He has told these inquirers that he isn't coming back until after Jan. 7, 2013"

I never knew Saban was paying players while he was at L S U???????

The name Saban draws lsu fans like a moth to a flame. Sad group.

It's also tough on him when the other franchises get to pay their recruits.

I guess the first round of offers aren't high enough yet!

Saban won't make it in NFL and he knows that. He needs talent advantage to win plus easy schedule.

"spslayto, you hit the nail on the head. SEC talent makes the coach, its not the other way around. Easy to coach great talent"!

les miles would agree......

TigerFlash•158 months

I don't think Saban could have ever gone to a school like S.Carolina and had the success that Spurrier has had. And he knows he can't coach with the big boys in the NFL so why try again. I give him credit for know his limitations.

Alabama told Saban they would be his safety net BEFORE he left LSU and went to the Dolphins.

"Why leave when you get a favorable SEC schedule like Bama's year in and year out?" FIFY CajunSoldire225

There is no main office in Birmingham that will give him easy schedules in the NFL...like Bama gets from the SEC headquarters.
