Saban will probably coach until he feels he just doesn’t have it anymore. That means when he quits Alabama will be slumping, and expecting a near-peak Saban quality replacement. These are reasons why following a legend is generally a bad idea. You want to be the second guy.

This is such a tired argument. The HOPE is that nobody will want the job. Alabama is not Texas Tech or Baylor where 10 win seasons are celebrated. Whether you follow Saban or are 6 coaches removed from Saban, you will be expected to win national Championshps. Alabama's expectations weren't created by Saban, they were created by Frank Thomas, carried on by Wallace Wade and Bryant. Bill Curry was 2 coaches removed from Bryant and was shown the door after a 10-2 SEC championship season. The coach that is 3, 4 or 10 removed from Saban will not have lowered expectations.
