No matter how often Dolphins coach Nick Saban says he is not interested in the vacant Alabama coaching job, the school will not listen.
A source close to the situation said that Alabama keeps on making runs at Saban and that it will not, under any circumstances, take no for an answer.
One NFL head coach even said he had been told that Saban was getting closer to accepting a job at Alabama, even though he has repeatedly and adamantly denied any interest in the job.
But each time he has turned down the school, Alabama has come back again and again with more lucrative offers. The school has some serious cash to throw around and it keeps offering to throw it Saban's way.
The question now is, does it have enough to lure away the big fish."

The only problem in swinging for a home run each time up at bat is that more often than not, you strike out.
But then again is Coach Saban so good that his hiring warrants being described as a home run?
His performance certainly has cooled off since joining the pro ranks.
Alabama would be better off leaving well enough alone and encourage Coach Saban to stay in the pros. Then Alabama should hire an above average coach like Paul Johnson, whose performance would be enhanced at Alabama by the inherent structural advantages in facilities, recruiting and financial support from the fan base. While Coach Saban's abilities might not necessarily build on these advantages, Coach Johnson's abilities should be enhanced.
Saban would be less valuable to Alabama than he might be to LSU, because while he may not be able to take full advantage of Alabama's advantages, he can, if at another SEC school, overcome the advantages Alabama has to offer and compete effectively against them. # posted by Anonymous : 4:14 AM
