Could Nick Saban have moved from Tuscaloosa, Ala., to New York last offseason?

According to actor Tom Arnold, the answer is yes. Arnold appeared on The Paul Finebaum Show on Friday and said Saban had real interest in the Giants' coaching vacancy this offseason.

The actor is friends with New York Giants co-owner and Vice President Steve Tisch, whose wife went to Alabama.

Lawyer and super promoter Bob Arum called the Giants and told them Saban wanted the Giants job. The team gave Saban a weekend to decide, according to Arnold. His asking starting salary was $10 million, but the Alabama coach said he had to check with his wife.

Ultimately, it didn't work out, and Saban ended up returning to the Crimson Tide for a tenth season.
