Saban, Gruden center of speculation
Two names are at the center of NFL speculation regarding Alabama's head coaching search: Nick Saban and Jon Gruden. And since the plumber has plugged most leaks, speculation is about all we have left.
As said about 100 times, the Saban situation is interesting because NFL sources repeatedly indicate he is interested. When you couple that with Alabama's obvious interest, then you've got the one person who is the frontrunner.
Gruden's name is interesting because it gets hotter every day in the Alabama coaching discussion. While Gruden is safe in Tampa for at least another season, there is growing media attention to a Gruden possibility. Much of the media attention is speculation; however, it is clear Neinas has contacted most coaches in the U.S. (and we hear even a few "football" coaches from Mexico and Cuba.) Gruden was probed for interest and could be open to listening to the University. The post-Christmas/New Year period will be an interesting time as the NFL season ends and the bowl season concludes.
