re: Should Bama name a “Coach in waiting”?

No. Nick Saban has more than earned the privilege to go out on his own terms.

He's in good health and one game does not a season make. But the end won't be too much longer he'll want to take that good health and enjoy retirement and I'll wish him well when he does.

You people want him gone because [b]Alabama is dangerous as long as he is there.[/b] Bama will get a good coach when he leaves, too much there to work with and too much money to be made.

Are the? I am not certain they are. I don't know that there is any indication since 2017 that a Saban led Tide is more "dangerous" than any of the top 5 or 6 SEC teams with a competent coaching staff. One could make the argument for 2020 and while what Bama did was impressive the season is definitely one with an asterisk. At any rate Alabama lost 2 conference games last year and by week 2 of the 2023 season has a loss....what Saban and the Tide have done is impressive but it has NO bearing on the present or future...
