ESPN’s Chris Low put out an article on Tuesday where he sat down with Alabama head coach Nick Saban and discussed things like his retirement one day...
quote:

“That’s what everybody keeps saying, that I’m not going to be doing this for much longer, and all the people who say it have no idea what I’m going to do,” Saban told ESPN during a wide-ranging interview. “I’ve been involved in some fashion with football and being a part of a football team ever since I can remember. I don’t know what it would be like not doing it and don’t want to know.”


“The way I look at it is, as long as I’m healthy and as long as I feel that I can do a good job, I want to keep doing it because I enjoy doing it,” Saban said. “What I don’t want to do is just stay forever, forever and forever and ride the program down where I’m not creating value. I would never want to do that, and I think I’m a long ways from doing that. I don’t want to talk about anybody else, but there have been a couple of coaches where their legacy was tarnished by them maybe doing it longer than they should have. That won’t be me.”
The interview is here...

Just Saban putting something on record that he can refer back to on the recruiting trail when other coaches try and start casting doubt about whether he'll be there for their whole career.

He's in good health, still winning titles. No end in sight. Biggest thing is he doesn't want to leave. He loves what he's doing and where he's doing it. God knows he's had every opportunity to leave. He said after the title game he's never been happier. We're quite happy as well.

>there have been a couple of coaches where their legacy was tarnished by them maybe doing it longer than they should have. That won’t be me. That's what they all say. Hardly anyone who is really successful thinks "I can't ever turn this slump around."

$20 million per year gets him back to Baton Rouge.

Which is why I say other teams need to force his retirement. I don't want Saban finishing on Top, make his arse quit.

Nick isn't about to Spurrier the Alabama program by putting a date on it.

"I don’t want to talk about anybody else, but there have been a couple of coaches where their legacy was tarnished by them maybe doing it longer than they should have." (Les Miles)

Not Miles. He was referring to Bobby Bowden, Joe Paterno, and probably a few others that were much older than Les.

Bobby Bowden definitely, I'm sure he was paying some attention after Jimbo came to FSU in 07 and saw how bad it got.
