According to Cowherd, the Browns have made this a "poorly kept secret" and Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam's relationship with both Saban and the Manning family could prove to be pivotal in the team actually getting a deal done.
To this point, Saban has appeared to be content in his retirement from coaching after leaving Alabama two seasons ago and since taking up a role on ESPN's College GameDay program.
