Why does everyone seem to think that Penn State would even offer?
Did Notre Dame offer? No.
Penn state has a great fan base, but not rabid like you find in the south. Not the type of program that would hire the gun for number 13, 5 or any other number.
When Penn state was struggling back in the early part of the decade they were not asking fir Joepa's resignation a la bowden/fsu...
Also, saban has said that he is happy. Has can always look around and find a challenge but not every challenge is what it is cracked out to be. I think he learned that with his NFL experiment.
It is a challenge to build and maintain a dynasty.
When Joe pa does retire, they will stay within the Penn State family a hire within. They w

You should check out a game at Beaver Stadium.

He also said he wasn't going to Alabama
But in all honesty, I think he's going to retire at Alabama. He'd be an idiot to go anywhere else.

I'll agree it's a challenge to build one, but to maintain one? A dynasty coincides with repeat occurrences, and things that repeat aren't challenges.. And I do remember a few years ago people calling for Jopa's head.. But Penn State's alumni wanted him to go out gracefully.. It just so happened he was contending for 10-11 win seasons after the fact..

I agree with this. I lived in Pa for a time and followed PSU football closely while I was there. Penn State won't offer. They don't want a hired gun. They will stay in the system.
I do think that Saban will leave Bama at some point, but it won't be to go to PSU. He will never be offered that chance.
