re: If Saban retired this year

I don’t think there is a person on staff right now that is ready for that big of a jump. There has been talk at times that Saban might retire and become AD. After he won one or two Nattys a few years ago that was talked about. No matter if Saban ever makes that move or not I have to imagine he will be asked to recommend his successor and I guarantee you the name he gives will be Sark. Saban has a lot of respect for him because he fought to turn his life around. Saban thinks he is a great coach. If Sark keeps on winning he may very well get that call one day.
