Harbaugh wore out his welcome and was about to get canned, and Saban was at about the same spot (and wasn't even as successful as Harbaugh was).
Their shite didn't fly in the NFL; Harbaugh at least had success but burned bridges. Saban realized he was in over his head.

Campbell has made a desperate Detroit team good, AND the rest of his division is a mess. Green Bay has lost Rodgers, the Bears suck, and the Vikings are mediocre. He's got the division for the next few seasons, could maybe make a run for the Super Bowl if things shake out. You don't give that up for college football right now.

Once a person is an Aggy anything is possible.

Aggies are a cult. So never rule it out.

No sane person would make that move especially after the window Lions are looking at for being a contender. The NFC Central is bad and they should be in playoffs for a few years.

Why don’t they go after Kyle Shanahan or Mike McDaniel?

That's one of them monkey paw wishes. You get to be rich and famous but you have to live in Detroit or College Station.

Aggie folks saying you need to make Dan Campbell say no

these motherfrickers are crazy...

it'll take more than Jimbo's annual buyout payment to get a big name coach there, and i just can't see aTm paying $15 mil/yr for just the HC position for the next 7-8 years... that's fricking INSANE

I think Campbell would probably be a great college coach, but there is no way he is stepping down from a division leader NFL job to go coach college.

Unless...

Aggie were to pony up 15mil a year.

He is making 4 million a year currently in Detroit, I'm not sure if he would leave or not but if someone is wanting to more than double possibly triple my salary to go anywhere I'm taking the call to listen.
