per fox sports. Would be a strange turn of events.

I've heard rumors on the worldwide leader that if Bama wins Monday, Sabin is one possibility of replacing Coughlin in NY.
THAT would be spectacular.

There was speculation he'd take the indy job, too. I'm thinking that will no longer happen. To me, another crack at the NFL seems like a logical move. If he blows out Clemson what would be left to do in college? Does winning like that still get the competetive juices flowing?
Personally, I hope Saban stays at Bama. I like having traditional powers be good. As long as we have Harbaugh we should fear no one, and when we do win it all it will be that much sweeter over Saban.

I think Saban is the kind of person who Is disappointed about 38-0 blowouts because they gave up a few first downs and blew a couple blitz pickups. I wouldn't worry about his competitve juices.

The chance is still greater than zero for Brian, but it involves a time machine.

Lane Kiffin would be HC at Alabama? Sabin would be crazy to leave the college ranks. He has it made in Alabama, get's good recuits and is paid real well. Why leave?

As a lifelong Giants fan, I believe it was time to move on from Tom, but there will always be a part of me that second guesses whether he was the right man to let go in this situation or if GM Jerry Reese got an underserved 2nd chance.

Seems to be on Harbaughs level for the love of the game and players!

I once attended a coaching clinic at which I saw Steve Szabo speak. Steve is a long-time NFL guy but has had some collegiate stops, including here at Michigan. At the time of this particular clinic, he was a position coach with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he was also on Tom Coughlin's staff at Boston College.
During one of their coaching staff meetings, Coughlin asked, by a show of hands, who had coached in high school. Well, everyone with the exception of Szabo raised their hands. Upon noticing this, Coughlin looked at Szabo and said, "You're the worst coach in this room." His reason? Coughlin believed that teaching high school kids the game is the best way to learn it.
A lot of coaches don't respect coaches at lower levels, but clearly Coughlin doesn't. Nor does Jim Harbaugh, who recently said something to the effect that a good coach is a good coach, no matter the level of football at which he plies his trade.

an ability to adapt and change? Remember when Giants players were complaining about his strict regime? And then he was able to maintain respect while still easing off a bit, knowing when to coach and when to let players take over.

A 2x Super Bowl winner--both times against the odds. It was time for him to move on, but he is a Big Blue Immortal now.

As a lifelong Giant fan I've come to love the guy, and I loved it when he brought down Belichick in two Super Bowls. You can knock those teams all you want but you'll never see better examples of teams growing and improving through the season.
Also always thought he was young for whatever his age was at the time and this video shows that. Best speculation in NY is he ends up back in college somewhere in the east, but he'll take an NFL job if offered. If you have a mess of a team and want to get it straightened out he can do it.
