Alabama head coach Nick Saban

The San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, Denver Broncos, San Diego Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills all had NFL head coaching openings this offseason.

And every single one of them reached out to Alabama coach Nick Saban to gauge his interest, according to Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report.

A league source told me that every NFL team with a coaching opening contacted Alabama's Nick Saban. All were emphatically told "no thanks." I'm not certain whether Saban told them this directly. It could have been Saban's agent or some intermediary.

The league source also said the Alabama coach has no interest in the NFL now or in the future.

Saban, of course, has NFL experience.

He was named the head coach of the Miami Dolphins on Dec. 25, 2004, where he finished with a 15-17 record. Saban had just completed a successful five-year run at LSU when he made the jump to the NFL.

On Dec. 21, 2006, Saban denied continued rumors connecting him to the Alabama job, stating "I guess I have to say it. I'm not going to be the Alabama coach."

He met with Alabama officials after the Dolphins 2005 season and announced he accepted the Alabama job on Jan. 4, 2007.

Saban was the Cleveland Browns' defensive coordinator under Bill Belichick from 1991-1994 and coached defensive backs for the Houston Oilers from 1988-1989.
