Yeah, the rumor in that article says Saban would be gone to the Giants but for Bama making the playoffs. Its just rumors, but it is a nightmare situation for TN if it happened. You know Bama would be attracted to CJP given his bama ties.
'You never say never'
Dabo did leave the door open when asked.
Dabo Swinney on one day replacing Nick Saban at Alabama: 'You never say never' | AL.com
So there are rumors that Saban is considering going back to the NFL for the NY Giants job.
Was actor/comedian Tom Arnold (gasp) right about Nick Saban and the Giants?
If this is true, I think a worst case for TN is Saban leaves after the CFB playoffs, and Bama gets CJP to come back home to Bama as their HC.
You know he would take it. We would then be left again without a head coach just a few weeks before National signing day.....
Hope this doesn't happen but its a risk when you hire a Bama grad and Saban likely only has a limited time left at Bama. Someone will need to replace him.
Of course if Bama steals CJP 5 or 6 years down the road and CJP has a chance to rebuild TN first - fine. But if it happens in a similar way to Kiffin - only a year or two in to the rebuild - it could crush us again...

Of course all this is speculative and unlikely. For conversation's sake though, if Bama steals CJP 5 or 6 years down the road and CJP has a chance to rebuild TN first - fine. But if it happens in a similar way to Kiffin - only a year or two in to the rebuild - it could crush us again...

I agree that Dabo would be their first call, but if he says no....
CJP would likely be their second.
