Nick Saban the next coach of the Packers? ESPN's Ryan Clark thinks so.
Oh snaps! Nick Saban going to be the next coach for the Packers? This story must be true, because it agrees with the general public's preconceived notion that the NFL is a better place to coach football than at a P5 University, and that the college game is merely a stepping stone to... 15-17. Or not. Here's to hoping that karma rears its head, and the negative recruiting tactics against 'Bama commence!

Urban to Bama. Raback it or RDT it.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:22 PM ^
BKfinest?
December 19th, 2018 at 7:03 AM ^
Confirmed on Counter-Strike.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:26 PM ^
Been saying this for weeks.
Done deal.
December 18th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
Quite bold, that is.
December 18th, 2018 at 7:13 PM ^
Oh, no. Urban to Auburn. Saban-Meyer in the Iron Bowl? Would watch.
December 18th, 2018 at 9:43 PM ^
Urban would have headaches, chest pains, lupus and gout within 6 months.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:19 PM ^
Maybe this is why Dax is flipping back to Michigan.
Wouldn't that be some fucking karma?
He flips from Michigan to Alabama because of rumors that Harbaugh is going to the NFL . . . then he flips back to Michigan because of rumors that Saban is going to the NFL.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Crootin'
December 18th, 2018 at 7:21 PM ^
Then Dan Enos, former Michigan coach takes over Alabama......
nah
I don't think Nick Saban is going anywhere.
December 18th, 2018 at 7:53 PM ^
"Former Michigan coach" is a pretty fast and loose description of Dan Enos. Was he briefly on their payroll? Sure, but "Former Michigan employee" is probably more accurate.
December 18th, 2018 at 8:11 PM ^
Humor doesn't go over too well on this blog.
I'll put wink faces all over my humor in the future, I guess.
December 18th, 2018 at 9:09 PM ^
I got the humor...I was just trying to add to it. I'll try smiley winky things in the future as well
December 18th, 2018 at 10:16 PM ^
Show yourself out.
December 18th, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
Nope, but let the rumors fly anyways. We shouldn’t be the only ones that suffer due to this kind of crap.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:51 PM ^
Well known fact that Nick doesn’t wear socks. That’s the main reason he won’t coach in the Frozen Tundra.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:20 PM ^
He didn't do that well the first time, fine, but the Dolphins are a turd of a franchise that wanted Culpepper instead of Brees. I think he would do well with A-ARon. If he could win a Superbowl he probably goes down as the best coach of all time.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:27 PM ^
He might do well with Rogers, but based on his reputation of being a control freak and bullying everyone, I doubt that he would be as effective with grown men who make more money than him versus 18-22 year olds whose future depend on him and make nothing. The power dynamics of the NFL are quite different than that of college, and I have doubts he could thrive in a position where he does not have absolute power.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:56 PM ^
Maybe, but, his absolute power has produced pretty good results, maybe he can sell NFL guys on doing what he says because of his insane track record at 'Bama now.
December 18th, 2018 at 7:39 PM ^
I don't think I'll ever respect what Saban built at Bama because he did it by over-signing and very likely paying guys. I'll bet on an equal playing field, he's just an average coach. Yes, he's had them rolling for a while now, but just about any coach can win with a roster that talented. Georgia seems to be heading down a similar path. Not surprising considering who Kirby learned from.
December 19th, 2018 at 5:57 AM ^
Yep. To be successful year in and year out in college where you have a massive talent advantage over almost every team is fairly impressive. It's much harder to do it in the NFL where the talent gaps are much, much smaller. I'm sure Saban is a good coach, but I think his stint with the Dolphins shows about how good of an NFL coach he is
December 18th, 2018 at 8:12 PM ^
Saban is such a control freak they gave him a car dealership so he could take care of players rides himself.
December 18th, 2018 at 8:55 PM ^
So our coach is not of this tweed. Guess not.
December 19th, 2018 at 1:23 AM ^
Plus most of the players curently on NFL rosters are former Bama players...
/s Kidding, not kidding. ?
December 18th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
Absolute power. Yes, yes.
December 18th, 2018 at 7:14 PM ^
Make nothing? WTF? Do you not read this blog?
December 18th, 2018 at 7:18 PM ^
He will also find it difficult when he doesn't get 12 first round picks every year.
December 18th, 2018 at 10:28 PM ^
And the winner of the Internet Award for today goes to.... Football Heaven!
Well played!!
December 18th, 2018 at 10:45 PM ^
Yeah, there's a reason that a guy who has won as many games as he has at Alabama really doesn't pop up on a lot of these new hiring radars. What I've gathered listening to a couple of NFL-focused podcasts is that NFL teams sort of view him as a great collector of talent whose schemes work fine in college because he can just out-talent basically everyone. But until very recently his offenses were pretty predictable and didn't have much in the way of counter-punching, and in the NFL even the best coaches have to be able to evolve and change with the times. And Saban definitively hates to change anything, and his controlling nature won't work when the guy he's yelling at makes 3x/4x more than him.
December 19th, 2018 at 3:05 AM ^
Some of that sounds very familiar...
December 19th, 2018 at 7:06 AM ^
And be able to cheat continuously without repercussions. And astounding talent disparity.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:34 PM ^
The damn Dophins should have drafted him in the first place.
It pains me thinking about what Brees in Miami would have done. Being the Dolphins though, Brees' shoulder would have gotten worse.
December 18th, 2018 at 11:06 PM ^
Wasn't Brees seen as an incredibly high risk signing because of the shoulder surgery he just came off of at the time?
December 18th, 2018 at 6:22 PM ^
That would be a major pay cut for Nick Saban
December 18th, 2018 at 6:23 PM ^
It's on the internet, must be true.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:35 PM ^
It's not even an actual rumor. It's just some guy throwing out an idle question "Could the Packers get Saban?"
I don't know, could M-Dog get Kate Upton?
See how that works? Just throw out a meaningless question with nothing behind it, and start an internet rumor that spreads like wildfire and changes lives.
Anybody can play.
But since this one suits our purposes and I'm not worried about any fair play when it comes to Saban of all people, I'll be happy to help spread it.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:38 PM ^
Got it. Saban is the next coach of the Packers and M-Dog is raising Verlander's child.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
Without child support.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:54 PM ^
Hey, I could afford it!
For about a week.
December 18th, 2018 at 8:49 PM ^
man, you make 500k? no wonder you're considering a suite.
December 18th, 2018 at 7:56 PM ^
It sounds to me like Verlander is going to be raising M-Dog’s child.
December 18th, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
Why can't I upvote this. Can we go back to the old blog? While we're at it could we find my old account? Ink wiring minds and such...
December 18th, 2018 at 6:24 PM ^
Ryan Clark went to LSU
December 18th, 2018 at 6:54 PM ^
... but, as of this date, has not publicly advised athletes to get a fall guy.
Master Carter, meet your apprentice.
December 18th, 2018 at 7:21 PM ^
He did and played for Saban there.
December 18th, 2018 at 8:51 PM ^
haha. was not aware. people pushing their narratives.
December 19th, 2018 at 8:05 AM ^
and was repeatedly torched by the guy in your avitar! Clark would run his mouth all week then "pay" big time on Sunday!
December 18th, 2018 at 6:24 PM ^
Just in time for signing day.....I love it
December 18th, 2018 at 6:24 PM ^
In no way do I mean to hijack a thread... but I don't have enough points to start threads, and in the car on the way home from work, I heard Chris Balas (the Wolverine.com) on the Huge Show say that the both corners (Hill and Long) have been practicing this week. It appears that only Gary, Higdon, and probably Bush will sit out of the bowl game.
I know this has been a point of extreme consternation on this board as of late. So, if someone thinks this info is thread worthy, please share. And, again, my apologies for the non-comment on Satan, uhh Saban to the Packers. LOL
