🏈 Nick Saban almost took the Giants job

[RoeTied]

Or so says Tom Arnold..

Did Nick Saban want to become the head coach of the New York Giants?

Roseanne ex is he still doing that stuff again? Why him to break this news out? Why not someone in sport or the Giants?

I call BS on this one. Nick isn't making that call, his agent is. Miss Terry would slap him for even thinking about it.

CNS has said repeatedly that the reason he came back to college is because he was unable to control his own destiny and run a program the way he wanted to in the NFL (essentially, paraphrased).

He will never, in a million years, think about going back to the NFL without complete autonomy over the prospective team. And that will never happen, not with so many hands in each team's jar.

But Roseanne ex said it was so!! So it much mean it true!

Some feedback on the Tom Arnold story from an NFL insider:

This is an awesome story. Totally false, but awesome. https://t.co/m5hiWqwTRb

Nick Saban isn’t leaving
It happens every year, though the end of October is earlier than usual. Inevitably, when a major college or NFL coaching job opens or was recently filled, the stories begin to trickle out that Saban has expressed passionate, maniacal interest in leaving Tuscaloosa. This year, the stories say Saban was headed to New York to coach the Giants.

Although, that’s not what the stories say, is it? That’s what the headlines say. What the stories actually say is that comedian Tom Arnold or boxing promoter and paragon of virtue Bob Arum told radio shows, unconfirmed and uncorroborated, that Saban’s agent maybe expressed interest in the New York Giants gig.

Arum claims that Jimmy Sexton, one of the most powerful men in sports, needed Arum to make third-hand innuendo to the Giants to make a deal possible. He claims that the deal would have been done, except the Giants management wouldn’t wait because they nearly had the deal to hire Ben “not the basketball player Bob” McAdoo finalized. Or maybe Saban couldn’t move because Miss Terry suddenly decided she really did love Tuscaloosa too much to move to snowy New York. And all the while, Sexton is conducting this through a colleague who’s conducting this through Arum, who had to tell the Giants’ owners that Saban wasn’t interested.

Never mind the fact that the Sabans have repeatedly, publicly and privately, discussed their affinity for Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. Never mind that Saban is 65 years old and has been to and left the NFL, which doesn’t suit him as well and where he can’t recruit, once already. Never mind that Saban has been in Tuscaloosa for 10 years and that he and those who know him well have said repeatedly that it will be his final stop.

It’s entirely possible Saban’s name came up in New York and that Sexton, well-known for effectively pursuing raises for his clients, encouraged that. But if you’re trying to convince me that Saban was going to uproot a dynastic football program that he controls every aspect of and where he’s on the precipice of dethroning the most iconic coach in the history of the game to take over a middling NFC East team with a slightly-better-than-average quarterback, I’m not buying.

It happens every year, and college football fan bases, particularly Southern ones, cling to it, hoping that Saban will deal the same pain to Alabama that he’s dealt to their team, either in departure (LSU) or conquest (also LSU). In 10 years, he hasn’t yet, and until retirement, I doubt he ever will.

BOOM!!

You know...Any football team, pro or college, should always get feelers on CNS. But with zero expectation of him biting. I'm sure, sooo many folks were telling Mal Moore that he is just hunting the great whale, but he at least tried it. It is always a NO when you don't ask. However, CNS experience with the NFL taught him about himself & his experience with 'Bama just affirmed his makeup.
