Nick Saban is being targeted by some NFL teams looking to fill head coaching vacancies, but he reportedly is telling those suitors that he will be staying at Alabama.
CBS Sports’ Mike Freeman says Saban has been telling NFL teams interested in hiring him “thanks but no thanks” thus far. Freeman says Saban has told inquiring teams he’s not coming back to the NFL.
It’s possible that Saban is declining overtures at this moment because he’s focused on the national championship game. It’s also possible that he could be saying one thing and planning to do another, like what happened when he left the Miami Dolphins for Alabama. However, this time around, we actually believe Saban.
Why should Saban entertain offers from NFL teams right now? He was there once and it didn’t go so well. At Alabama, he’s paid well, developed the best program in the country, and he already has a statue made in his likeness. Unless he has a goal to prove that he can win in the NFL, what does Saban have to gain b...

January 04, 2013
Margin of points or victory in college football is a deceiving factor in determining the best teams in the nation. Only four of the last ten BCS National Champions had a higher margin of victory than their opponent coming in to the title game. However, many so-called experts blindly insist that it should be a factor that determines the best team, but there is no proof of it in recent...

Saban, Kelly lead Bama and ND out of darkness
There were some dark days at Notre Dame and Alabama, dark years really, during which two college football's proudest programs flailed and foundered.
As the 21st century dawned, the Fighting Irish and the Crimson Tide were old news, stodgy remnants of a glorious past, not moving fast enough to keep up with the times, and searching for someone to lead them back to the top.

There's a school of thought that once the whistle blows and the first kick is in the air head coaches don't matter much, but come Monday in the BCS National Championship is that really the case? We say no, both coaches have a major roll in their respective teams, so perhaps the better question is which coach will actually have the bigger effect on the outcome of the game...

Smile, Nick, you've got a good thing
It is no longer news that Nick Saban is an SOB.
People have known it for years, even before the Miami Dolphins sent around a memo warning employees not to make smalltalk with him. It is part of his charm. From the outside, we never even see the man smile.
"Neither do we,'' Alabama running back Eddie Lacy said Thursday. "He smiles randomly. I'm not going to...
