I'll pass along this tidbit:
League sources say Saban has privately made it clear he would listen to an opportunity if the quarterback situation is right. The Colts are already preparing to move on from Pagano, and have had very casual discussions with Jimmy Sexton on a broad framework of a $10M - $12M annual deal, uniting Saban with Andrew Luck, something that intrigues Nick immensely. "Saban is fed up with the direction of the offenses in college football, and he privately feels he's accomplished all he can in Tuscaloosa. The Bama administration has been more than aware of this since the Texas debacle last year, and have been bracing themselves for the inevitable ever since."
The source went on to say, "Brady is getting older, Peyton is getting older, Luck is the next star at that position in a league void of talent at QB, and Saban knows it. This thing is going to get done."
