During an appearance on FS1's The Herd with Colin Cowherd this week, Meyer was asked about Saban having an itch to return to the sideline if he were approached about an NFL coaching job:
"I have not talked to him about this, I could guess—cuz I know him fairly well and competed against him—that it's not a little scratch, it's probably a pretty big scratch," Meyer said. "[Coaching in the NFL] is the one area that he has not, you know ... he was getting things going [with the Miami Dolphins], I actually visited him when he was down there, but I don't think he'd go back to college. I don't see that fit.
"I would say very little to no chance he would get involved in college," he continued. "But I think he would take phone calls from the NFL."
