The third-year Fighting Irish coach, who interviewed with the Philadelphia Eagles earlier in the week a day after the Irish were beaten 42-14 by Alabama in the BCS title game, says his interest with the NFL is over for now.

Obama called Saban on Thursday afternoon and noted that it was the third time he'd made the congratulatory call to the coach.
