Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback and present faculty soccer analyst Greg McElroy generated headlines when he just lately revealed that an individual “within the know” believes there’s an opportunity that legendary faculty head coach Nick Saban may return to the sidelines as quickly as subsequent 12 months.
Throughout Wednesday’s version of “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” program, the Fox Sports activities persona requested NFL insider Albert Breer if Saban would not less than take into account turning into head coach of the Dallas Cowboys in 2026 if Cowboys proprietor and normal supervisor Jerry Jones components methods with first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer after a single season.
“It makes some sense for certain,” Breer stated about Cowherd’s concept, as shared by Reice Shipley of Terrible Asserting. “…He may are available in there and actually go into a spot that’s arrange for a powerful coach. And it’s attention-grabbing as a result of I feel the one factor about Dallas that individuals misunderstand is, sure, Jerry’s concerned in soccer. However the coach is concerned in scouting, too. Like, the coach is concerned in placing the workforce collectively.”
There are a number of causes to consider that Saban taking up in Dallas does not make sense. For starters, he turns 74 years previous in October, and McElroy instantly stated he believes Saban is “utterly fulfilled with what he is doing” as an analyst and ESPN persona.
Moreover, previous reports indicated that the Cowboys promoted Schottenheimer from his position as offensive coordinator as a result of quarterback Dak Prescott wished “continuity.” Prescott signed a four-year contract extension reportedly price $240M with $231M assured final September, and Dallas likely can’t escape that deal anytime quickly.
When the Cowboys have been linked with Invoice Belichick in January 2024, some commentators instructed that Jones would not need to share the “highlight” with such a big-name head coach. Breer questioned if Jones can be “prepared to take a backseat” to Saban, however Breer additionally added that the seven-time nationwide champion coach may not less than settle for a name made by Jones this coming January.
“I simply suppose if you wish to line the entire thing up and say he must go to a model title, you recognize, he must go to one of many flagship franchises, the a part of the nation that it’s in and the best way they’re arrange, I may see Saban working in Dallas,” Breer defined.
For what it is price, Breer added that he believes “Schottenheimer goes to do a greater job than most individuals do.” One can not help however marvel how Jones will reply if Breer is unsuitable and Saban hints that he might be focused on teaching “America’s Crew” for even just a few years.
