Top 10 Reasons Saban would take the Notre Dame Coaching job if offered:

10) Saban's wife hates living in Tuscaloosa

9) Saban is Catholic

8) The history and tradition of Notre Dame football!

7) As long as Urban Myer is coaching Florida, Alabama can't win a national title because they can't get past the SEC Championship Game.

6) Bama will soon be on probation......again.

5) Nationwide recruiting base

4) Guaranteed BCS Bowl is ND finishes in top 12

3) Every Game is televised Nationally

2) He would no longer have to coach in the shadow of Bear Bryant and could create his own legacy at Notre Dame.

And the Number One Reason Saban would leave Alabama for Notre Dame:

1) Saban would become the highest paid college football coach in America surpassing Pete Carroll and Urban Myer.




1. Pete Carroll, USC Pac-10 $4,400,000

2. Charlie Weis, Notre Dame Ind. $4,200,000

3. Urban Meyer, Florida SEC $4,000,000

4. Nick Saban, Alabama SEC $3,900,000

Is she shopping for real estate on Highland Road again?

He pretty much has that now, at least to the extent he wants too.

Alabama will give him a raise if it comes down to money.

Right. Then he'd be in the shadow of 5-6 coaching legends.

Half of those are very "iffy". For instance, Bear Bryant is the face of Bama football and forever will be. But, Notre Dame has a dozen guys that are just as famous that Saban will have to out-do. I'm Catholic and I have a dozen more reasons to go to Notre Dame besides the fact that it's the premiere Catholic college. I believe Saban is running that program as clean as anyone and i doubt as long as he is there and in charge, there won't be any more shadiness surrounding Bama than there is LSU. And to think that Saban can't beat Florida, how does he expect to beat USC every year?

BTW i think Saban came back to the college only because there was a premiere job open in the SEC.

Saban would put ND in the National Championship every year..he would make the usc-nd game be the game of the year bc he would actualy win it.

He would be crazy to leave Alabama. He has everything he needs there, and in only his third year, he still doesn't have all his guys in yet. Why would he want to start the process all over? However, I would be ecstatic to see him get the hell out of the SEC!!

Alabama fan I work with wanted me to post this in response:

Maybe you can post my response to those on that board :)


10. Definitely not true. She loves T-town according to everyone that is
close to her.
9. True, he is Catholic, but does that matter?
8. Bama has a pretty solid history and tradition as well.
7. We'll see Saturday.
6. Not likely. We have a strong leader now.
5. Saban is currently landing players all over the country at Bama (ever
heard of a fellow named Mark Ingram?)
4. Looks like Saban is going to be a frequent BCS participant at Bama.
3. SEC/ESPN TV contract. Need I say more?
2. Bear who? Saban is already approaching Bear popularity.
1. Money is no object in T-town. They can match anyone.

Saban is worth whatever ND offers, and Bama can make money by matching it.

If you are an elite coach ND should be basicaly half the NC every year with the current BCS set up.

If I were ND I would put together a package that would pay 7-10 million a year depending on performance. Then I would make a list ranking the top coaches in America that ND could possibly get. I would then ask Meyer and then Saban.

I highly doubt both would pass.

The answer is the only thing bigger than Saban's paycheck is his ego. ND might be the only place big enough to get him enough media attention to feed his massive ego.
