The Colts are at a fork in the road. After putting a terrible team around Andrew Luck for his first few seasons, they now have a chance to start new. They are expected to part ways with coach Chuck Pagano on Monday, but the bigger news is the name that came up first on the potential candidates list:
Assuming #Colts part ways with Chuck Pagano, they'll think big on coaches. Expected to make Nick Saban & Sean Payton say no before moving on

The Alabama coach is rumored to every high profile NFL job that opens and he obviously hasn’t taken one yet, but the simple fact of Andrew Luck being there has to raise the stakes. He has been touted as a ‘once in a lifetime talent’, but is that enough for Saban to leave the comfort of college football?
Sadly Colt fans, I don’t see Saban leaving the Crimson Tide. After Luck, there just isn’t enough talent around him for this job to be attractive. Saban has built too much there to leave, not to mention what we just witnessed with Chip Kelly.
