re: Whoever Bama hires, it will be a step down. They cannot match Saban's ability.

Fear is emotional. You don't even know who the next guy is, yet. And if you don't respect who we get, then you may under-estimate him.

I respect all opponents ability, even the lesser ones.

Saban had a mystique. You could be up on him in the 4th quarter and everyone on Earth knew he would will his team back. That pit in the stomach feeling even when winning. No other coach has ever made me as a fan feel like that

You'll hire a great coach taht I will respect. Bama will still win a lot of games I'm sure, especially first couple of years. But it's just going to be different.
