At the end of the day, whoever replaces Saban will have a hard time living up to expectations. Personality is a thing to consider though. This is just my opinion, but most successful Al coaches had a certain gravitas to them. Bryant, Stallings and Saban --- none of them struck me as a "prankster" or as light hearted as Dabo.
Yea, I generally agree, but I almost feel like the next coach needs to totally be his own man. He doesn't need to be a "Saban lite" type.
However, outside of winning, the biggest thing the next coach is going to need to have is total confidence in himself and his system. The guy who I think might actually be the best fit is Brian Kelly, but that would never happen and I'm not 100% sure what I think about him as a coach (very good, not sure if elite).

If he retires today he still has twice as many natties as your entire program.

I'd rather go after Dantonio or Gary Patterson type guys
Dantonio is 59 years old already. He would too old.
Patterson is a really good coach, but he has totally abandoned his old school mentality. I don't know how that would work.

If anything, I would say that shows he is adaptable. Today, that is pretty important.

Yea, I don't necessarily say it is a bad thing, I just don't know what he would bring.
I also think he is pretty set at TCU. But who knows.

Barring some unforeseen health problems or the program collapsing, Saban is not going anywhere. He is incredibly competitive. He has 4 he needs 3 to beat CPB.
