of course he did. This was his plan.

Retire, gut the program, make sure no one else got the keys to the Ferrari he had built. It was the only way to ensure people would keep calling him the goat.

Had the new coach come in, kept winning, kept bringing natties home, in a few years folks would have been saying "maybe it's Alabama, and not Saban".

Yes, he had a plan.
