He's no more than 3 years from retirement, and he's basically said he's done with the NFL.

Pete Carroll coached New England for 3 years and made the playoffs twice, won a division title, and didn't have a losing season

What a failure

He told his agent he's not looking around.

He and, more importantly, Miss Terry aren't interested in returning to the NFL. Besides, he'll probably ride into the sunset within 5 years.

No NFL or college team wants to hire a coach with such a short shelf life unless they are super duper Bill Parcells desperate. Pete Carroll is the same age, but he's wired different.

So please don't take the call from Jerry Jones' ghost 2 years into retirement Nick

Because on an even playing field Saban is not a special coach as proven during his time in the NFL.

Honestly, why would they? He's not innovative, he simply runs a system. he doesn't bring anything to the pro game they don't already have. Scheme-wise, all he does is run an older, solid 4-3 defense that relies on superior talent; he has no offensive contributions and a tendency to be conservative.

Nicky is not going back to the NFL.

There is a higher chance that Bama wins the first Playoff and he then immediately retires from coaching to begin his stint as Lee's replacement on College Gameday, than there is of him going back to the NFL.

They won't do that because of his failed attempt in Miami. They would be afraid that if things got tough he would bolt again. No way Saban ever goes to the NFL again.
