Bama paid two 5-star recruits, DJ Fluker (a 1st Round pick) and HaHa Clinton-Dix (a projected 1st Round pick). In HaHa's case, it was a Bama coach who paid him (assistant strength coach Corey Harris)
so, what NFL teams go after Saban? and which would he be interested in?
i always though the Steelers would be a good fit for Saban. Saban was born in Fairmont, WV, which is just an hour and a half drive south of Pittsburgh. And Saban went to Kent State where he also began his coaching career, and that is just an hour and 40 min drive NW of Pittsburgh
and Saban has Steelers pedigree:
(Saban) came to Pittsburgh often," Steelers DC George Perles recalled. "He used to come there and look at film." Saban later spent five years on Perles' staff on Michigan State, and Perles was the defensive coordinator of the famed "Steel Curtain" defense. Saban never worked directly for legendary Steelers coach Chuck Noll, but working with Perles was the next-best thing.
the Steelers are currently 0-4 this season, and 8-12 since 2011 (a 40% win pct), and they are used to having legendary coaches:
1969–1991 -- Chuck Noll
1992–2006 -- Bill Cowher
2007–present -- Mike Tomlin
2014-??? -- Nick Saban?
