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...
I think you nailed it! Please forgive my fat thumb.

He's 63, and he doesn't want to start a new life somewhere else. He's happy being the coach of the best football program in America. Colleges know that, plus, in all honesty, they don't won't to hire a 63 year old head coach to rebuild a program.

After the Texas circus last year the message was pretty clear, he's staying.

Agree!

Vehemently disagree!
There are probably at least 120 FBS schools that would hire CNS TODAY if he would come.

Maybe I should rephrase. Most colleges would probably "prefer" to hire a younger coach to start a rebuilding job.
On the other hand, Coach Saban is a very "young" 63 and could probably coach until he's 90 if he chose to, so I'll agree with your opinion on this one. I stand corrected.

I do agree that most schools would probably rather hire a younger guy, but I think CNS is so good that most people would not look at that.

I am baffled by Nebraska hiring Mike Riley, but I was even more shocked to see that Riley is 61.

I think other ADs have looked at the situation and said, "If Texas $$ can't lure him away, what chance do we have?"

Nebraska doesn't seem to mind hiring a coach that is 61.

Just a guess, but the OP was probably referring to the Michigan, Florida and Nebraska jobs.

$7.5 million a year kind of scares most schools off I suspect.
