It is funny that Nick Saban's name comes up just when Josh MacDaniels and Bill O'Brian are in the news. I have a suspicion based on nothing at all, no inside information whatever, that Nick Saban is the inside choice to replace Bill Belichick whenever he decides to hang it up.
He has had the equivalent of Bill's Cleveland Browns failing experience, at Miami, and learned from it. He has been a very successful chief executive, and Head Coach at fabled SEC powers LSU and Bama, producing continuing winning seasons, and also national titles at both. Those combined qualities would appeal to Bob Kraft.
He obviously is a good judge of talent. And he has proven he can resurrect a former power LSU and can extinguish the memory of a hallowed forbear, in the form of Bear Bryant at Alabama, something any follow on Coach would have to confront at the Patriots.
Maybe but depending on how antsy hes gets for a promotion, Nick Caserio has the inside track on that position as he has coaching and FO experience. In addition, I think Bob Kraft would want final say on who heads up his billion dollar business.
