Poll: Will Belichick or Saban be 1st to leave their current team?
Christopher Hanewinckel / USA TODAY Sports
There's little question that Bill Belichick is the best coach in the NFL, while Nick Saban has held the same title in the college ranks for a number of years.
In the midst of an ESPN report of a fractured relationship with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and quarterback Tom Brady, there's been whispers that Belichick may leave the organization, despite the 65-year-old's insistence that he's not.
Saban just finished winning his fifth national championship in nine years with Alabama, and once again has been mentioned as a target for some NFL openings.
The speculation has caused online sportsbook Bovada to list a prop as to which of the legendary coaches will leave their current job first, with the Patriots boss the slight favorite:
- Bill Belichick -150
- Nick Saban +110
