New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin's future with the team is still up in the air, but there's at least one interesting name being bandied about if he is indeed relieved of his duties.
According to NFL Network's Albert Breer believes the Giants could make a run at Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban if Coughlin is on the outs.
"I don't think he's going to leave for just anywhere but ... I think there is an obvious admiration there from the Mara family and if Tom Coughlin and the Giants were to cut ties, whether it's this year, next year or whenever, I wouldn't be totally shocked to see the New York Giants make a run at Nick Saban," Breer said. "I'm not saying that Saban would go for just any pro job at this point. But you've got to understand, the Giants job is kind of the gold standard job for the entire profession when it comes to football coaches and I would imagine Nick Saban would at least take that phone call.
"I don't know if he would necessarily leave Alabama, but it's one of those where it's such a good job that you almost owe it to yourself to listen."
The smart money has both Coughlin and Saban staying put, but it's still a very interesting scenario worth discussing if the long-time Giants head coach is in fact dismissed at the end of the 2014 NFL season.
