    No. Just the price of having an exceptional coach. For all of their success, Bobby Bowden, Joe Paterno, Bob Stoops and Lloyd Carr don't get the NFL inquiries Saban's getting. And ALL of the above mentioned coaches are some of college football's most successful.

    I am referring to "insider" boards and people who read stuff posted on such boards then take what they read as fact...... because after all if an anonymous InSidEr posted it, then it must be true!

    BS...they don't have "agents" scouting potential jobs for them. The key difference between the coaches you've mentioned and Saban is that those coaches are content in the college game. Saban obviously is not. Believe me, Stoops has had more success in college football...he'd be looked at and desired just as much as Saban. Saban does have some assistant coach success...but I believe that his being desired by the NFL is based mostly on his success at LSU.

    He told you he is not content?

    Maybe he has friends and contacts in the nfl and out of respect he does not simply blow them off when they approach him. Who really knows?

    Apparently you do. Nevermind. :)

    Yeah you are right...he does this shi# each year out of respect for NFL friends. That's the biggest BS I've ever heard. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

    It is obvious he isn't content. :dis: Looking at other options on a regular basis is THE telltale sign that someone is not content in their current position.

    I want Saban to stay as much as most Tiger fans do...

    i think a lot has to do with whom he's had success and tutored under, William Stephen Belichick. The NFL is a copycat league and knowing the Pats great success no one thought a team could sustain in today's game, the next best thing is a clone. That would be Nick. Stoops would not be half the demand in the NFL that Saban is...regardless his more success, though minimal, than NS at the college level.

    Mike Holmgren is proof positive of this. How many of his assistants went on to become head coaches?
