Since there's not a better job in college football, and Nick's been upwardly mobile throughout his career, I'd say it's unlikely he'll leave Bama to go coach college football elsewhere...unless of course some high profile job comes up where he can rebuild a power that's fallen from grace and doesn't look likely to return to it's former prominence.

I've said there's only one job I'd be seriously concerned about Saban taking, and that's Notre Dame. Because the opportunity to rebuild them back to glory might be too much temptation.

He's not going anywhere. He has a bazillion dollar mansion lake house in Georgia thats not terribly far from Tuscaloosa. If any team come calling Bama will match them with the swiftness.

Agreed. ND and WVU are the two schools I could envision him retiring at if not Bama. As people age, faith and home begin calling louder and louder. Those two schools would provide the challenge and home/faith aspect that might lure him away.

I would disagree. While I agree it's a top 3 job I think Texas would be the premier job. The fan base is loyal to an unhealthy degree and it's an easier path for them an Alabama. Still, I would admit Alabama is top 3.

Texas is a better job than Bama fwiw. Probably the best job in the country as much as I hate to admit.

Austin is probably the best town in America that is home to a major university.

Wrong ! wrong ! ( think Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse ( Now ). There are 2 equally ( gooder ) programs other than Bama , LSU &
Texas . He's been there done that with one
and the other has more money than you can count
and wants to win at least as much as Bama .
