Nick Saban should be insulted. He should be so angry, every headset from here to Auburn should be very, very afraid. How many undefeated regular seasons does the guy have to stack on top of each other to get a little respect? Of all the slights Saban’s received, this one may be the biggest. The Notre Dame job appears ready to come open in less than a week, and absolutely no major media outlet has mentioned the Alabama coach as a potential candidate. Never mind that he’s Catholic. And that he’s one of the top three coaches in college football. And that he’s Catholic. And that Notre Dame finds itself in the exact same position as Alabama three years ago, in serious need of a proven winner to restore a faded power to its former glory. And did I mention that he’s Catholic? If someone close to the Fighting Irish doesn’t pick up the phone and call someone close to Saban, at least to check his pulse, then Notre Dame isn’t as smart as it would like you to think. It wouldn’t be the first time Notre Dame has reached out behind the scenes to gauge the interest of an Alabama coach. Dennis Franchione once showed up on the Irish radar. – Birmingham News

Wow this would sure shake things up a bit...who would fill Bama?
 
I would think the Birmingham News would be thankful the Bama coach isn't mentioned, rather than say it is an insult he isn't. As previously stated, claiming it is an insult is admitting the ND job is better.
 
Isn't Alabama a final destination job?

Saban & Final Destination in the same sentence? Some coaches simply cannot or will not maintain a program. Saying Saban will stay at Alabama is like saying Tim Floyd will stay at UTEP, Idaho, New Orleans, Iowa State, Chicago, New Orleans, or USC.
 
I'm Catholic and like Notre Dame. Won't go out of my way to root for 'em, but I did really enjoy my campus visit.
 
I'm Catholic but was raised a Michigan State fan... not much room for Notre Dame in that equation. Seeing Saban at Notre Dame would make me puke, based on my former allegiance to MSU.
 
Didn't Notre Dame get rid of George O'leary for lying on a resume? Why then would they hire Saban, who is not the next head coach at Alabama?
