And if you mean I am saying they definitely want him because he would be one of the first people they call... No, no I am not saying that.So you're saying they would call Dabo if Saban left? Why would they call him? You seem certain they would call him. So by that logic you are implying they "would want him". Or are you just saying they would call Dabo for advice on who to hire?
I have first pick in my fantasy draft this year and guess what, I have four guys in mind(a short list) that I would take. But I am going to investigate injury history, team situation, etc. before I make my final decision. A short list is the people that you are interested and want to learn more about before you make a final decision.
