Falcons reach out to Sexton about Saban...

BS. Saban is not a stupid man. Why would he leave what he haves, for the NFL (where he’s already failed once.)? Doesn’t need the money or headaches.

It won't happen. Atlanta fans in reality don't give a rats arse.......Alabama fans would all take out 2nd mortgages on their homes to help out Saban and REC if asked

If anyone though has the money to make Saban at least think, it's Arthur Blank

Saban is not going pro no matter how much money they throw at him.

Never happen. I doubt Saban is even in demand in the NFL. The trend in the NFL is younger offensive minds.

Think about it. What more does Nick need to accomplish in the college football ranks. He always wants another challenge and obviously there is not one in the NCAA. His lake house is very close to Atlanta and both is kids have finished college. “It’s time to move on.” Falcons owner would give Saban full control of team along with decisions made on personnel.

My one hope was that Saban's pride would gnaw at him about his "failure" in the NFL as well as seeking Carroll succeed at Seattle.

However, he's perfectly content being a fricking legend at Alabama and ruling CFB as his fiefdom. "Total" control is what he had at Miami and he really could not get any more that that at ATL and his style will not work in the current NFL.

In other words, unless Blank gives Saban part ownership of the team, and Home Depot, he isn't leaving.

Nick Saban is nothing if not a smart coach.
His goal was the NFL, he tried it. It did not go well. It was not, necessarily, coaching deficiencies, it was his personality and the dynamic he created. I have no doubt that on a purely technical level, Nick Saban can coach in the NFL, he has done it. His preparation and organization are first rate.

His personality in the office, the sort of "don't-talk-to-me" attitude that he has been rumored to have, and the constant berating of players in practice and on game-day do not go well with professional, paid athletes. That is, to me, the long and the short of the NFL situation.

The NFL is now a very different beast than it was before Saban went to Kent State.

Saban is not NFL material that has already been seen.

Saban isn’t going to a league that has an equitable system of player selection where he can’t manipulate the system to get a team of no. 1 picks resulting in him getting his behind handed to him on a regular basis. If he leaves Bama it will be for a broadcasting job or retirement. However, if I’m wrong, watching him get spanked twice a year by a Louisiana team might just be motivation enough to get me to tune in to the NFL again.
