Why hasn't Coach Saban been listed as a Target for all of these "high profile" jobs?

I find it odd....this is the first year I remember where Coach hasn't been rumored to be going somewhere else.....

I wonder why?

Because of the jobs open so far, none have been even close to comparable in stature to the Bama job. I think everyone knows he isn't leaving Bama if he hasn't already, and if he did, it wouldn't be for a less than lateral move like Florida or Nebraska.

The "Saban is definitely going to Texas" baloney last year was incredibly annoying. I'm glad there hasn't been anything this year during the season.

It will start up again should we go all Chicken Little when the Tide struggles.

Who wants a boring coach who is only defensively minded and struggles with HUNH offenses?

  • How many schools could afford him?
  • He's consistently said for a few years now that he isn't leaving.
  • His longevity is becoming a factor in terms of how long he'll continue to coach.
  • He has used past offers primarily as a leverage tool to increase pay at Alabama and teams courting him have ended up just wasting their time and money.


I doubt he's ever seriously considered for any other job again.

Coach Saban's not that good of a coach, plus he hasn't won anything or stayed anywhere longer than 4 years (can't win back to back 10 win seasons). Who would want to put up with that from a coach getting $7 million a year?

I'm tempted to say it's because the media got tired of looking stupid, but they seem to have an inexhaustible supply of stupid, so maybe not...
