Colin Cowherd Thinks Nick Saban Will Be The Next Dallas Cowboys Coach<\/a> originally appeared on The Spun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Colin Cowherd has an idea about what former college football head coach Nick Saban has planned for the future. It involves taking over a certain NFL team situated in Dallas and craving new leadership.<\/p>\n

On the latest episode of The Herd, Cowherd asserted that he believes Saban will be the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys if things go south with current head coach Brian Schottenheimer. He declared that he’s “convinced” Saban will return to the NFL.<\/p>\n

“I am convinced Nick Saban is returning to coach in the NFL and it will be with the Dallas Cowboys\u2026\u00a0@AlbertBreer<\/a>\u00a0doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s the craziest idea he\u2019s ever heard,” Cowherd wrote on X.<\/p>\n

NFL and college football fans quickly dismissed Cowherd’s proclamation. Many have pointed out that Saban would never tolerate Cowboys owner Jerry Jones due to Jones’ penchant for meddling with his coaches. Others pointed out that Cowherd has been wrong about too many big things to be trusted on this one.<\/p>\n

“With Jerry? C\u2019mon – Saban couldn\u2019t and wouldn\u2019t tolerate the Jones boys meddling. Not a chance in Haiti is Nick in Dallas,” one user remarked.<\/p>\n

“You were also convinced the Pittsburgh Steelers should trade Tj Watt George Pickens and three first rounders for Shedeur Sanders,” another pointed out.<\/p>\n

“I’m convinced you are off your rocker,” a third wrote.<\/p>\n

“He already did the NFL thing. He already walked away. And unless the man WAKES UP CRAVING STRESS and CHAOS – this AIN\u2019T happening. I\u2019m not sayin\u2019 it\u2019s impossible\u2026but I\u2019m tellin\u2019 you RIGHT NOW, don\u2019t bet your house on it. That\u2019s a fantasy, not a forecast.”<\/p>\n

Saban infamously served as head coach of the Miami Dolphins from 2005 to 2006. After going a respectable 9-7 in his first year, he went 6-10 the next year and resigned in order to take the Alabama job. From there, he became one of the greatest coaches in college football history.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Cowherd thinks that Saban’s ego will compel him to try and become one of the very few coaches to win both a national title and a Super Bowl like Jimmy Johnson and Pete Carroll have.<\/p>\n

But with seven national titles to his record, Saban doesn’t need to risk a legacy bump for a shot at a legacy boost.<\/p>\n

This take from Cowherd looks like a dud.<\/p>\n
