Saban seems best suited to college. He tried the NFL already after bailing on LSU and flopped in Miami. Dolphins medical staff failing Drew Brees didn’t help but he didn’t translate to winning in the NFL like Carroll has. Carroll also struggled in his first NFL gig with New England in the late 90’s though.

There's no reason for him to leave. He makes over $9 million a year at Alabama. That's more than most NFL coaches. He's happy right where he is.

Yeah he is worshipped down in Tuscaloosa, and he has total control of that program. Hopefully when he runs out of fingers for rings he'll retire

Odds are he will prolly retire in bama. But he flopped in the nfl for various reasons a long time ago. Since his cfp era run with them Im surprised he hasn challenged himself to take a nfl contract again. You know he has them left and right coming in. And prolly for more than 9 mil. He’s got a secret. That’s for damn sure

The problem is that the NFL is completely different than College football. It's much harder to control the players who are all chasing their own high paying contracts. It's a completely different game.
I remember when Chip Kelley from Oregon went to the NFL. He was praised as one of the best college football coaches in the nation. He ended up getting fired by Philadelphia after 2 years and 1 year at San Francisco after a dismal 2-14 record. He's now back to coaching UCLA with a 12-21 record. I bet he wishes he never left Oregon.
I agree with you that Saban will likely retire in Alabama. He's too smart to leave. It's a step up for some but not if you're the coach of the

What about Jim harbaugh and Pete carrol? Both led teams to the Super Bowl And harbaugh went back to Michigan so I can prolly understand the fact that coach’s prefer collage over nfl, Essp with all the complaining nfl players have about playing time and scoring their next contract.

Harbaugh gets paid a lot but hasn’t proved it in college like Saban has at Bama. He flamed out in the NFL because partly because of his personality. Harbaugh can be an arrogant asshole in a way that doesn’t play well with pros or rich owners. In college, he recruits well but has not translated it to winning big games at Michigan. Michigan fans are pretty tired of him at this point too, if Michigan can’t beat MSU or Ohio State (maybe both) he’s going to be gone after this year.
Carroll flamed out in New England then had a insane period of success at USC. He left under a cloud of NCAA allegations of improper recruiting, payments, etc. though. That stuff goes on everywhere but there was a lot of smoke at USC under Carroll’s watch - he pretty much had to leave. Saban keeps his program cleaner than Carroll did and really has no reason to leave Bama.

How about NC State beating Clemson in 2OT .......WOW
I thought after Dunn missed his third field goal with 2 seconds to go that they done like dinner, but they came back to stop the Clemson streak
Was also happy to see Notre Dame beat Wisconsin
Bye bye Clemson. Not a notre Dame fan. Maybe this is the year Phil Knight's money finally buys a Championship.
Oregon all the way. It could happen. It's a damn good football program. Not all the flash and dash from the Chip Kelley era. Cristobal has changed things significantly. Less flash and more brute force. Oregon's in charge of their own destiny. They could go all the way. Their biggest opponent will be themselves. But the current Oregon Ducks are definitely contenders for the National Championship. Just take the gun away from them so they don't shoot themselves in the foot.
Now time to kick ass in the PAC 12. They have to do that before any National Championship talk.
Arizona tonight. They better blow them out. If they're as good as I think they'll do just that. If they don't then they're just another college football team

Well Oregon won but it was Arizona. Pretty ugly game. Ducks look beat up.
I think that win over Ohio is still lingering. They left with a win but they paid the price. Ohio is the real deal and Oregon got the crap beat out of them in that game. They're still recovering from it.
They should be in good shape for Stanford next week then it's fluff with CAL, UCLA, Colorado, etc... All games Oregon should win. We'll see how things play out. If they can go undefeated in the PAC 12 then they go to the Championship.

Ducks were the better team today but they tripped over themselves.
Wolverine fan here, Harbaugh finally got a big win in a hostile Camp Randall stadium. Wisconsin having a down year but still nice win.

We found out who Arkansas and Georgia were today, what a classic ass whooping. Biggest surprise for me was Kentucky beating Florida 
Fuck I hate Florida
