Saban is building a dynasty at Alabama and will make a run at being one of the best college coaches of all time before he retires there and into the sunset or UofA AD position.

Good God, and people say AU fans are delusional.. Look Saban will more than likely win a national championship at two schools, so that alone will put him in the group of the elite.. Now if he could do this at three, well that makes him untouchable.. And what makes you think he'd want to be an AD? ADs don't get any/much of the credit for what they do, and you could make more money doing PR work..

Name one advantage of the PSU job over Bama.
In 1979, there may have been a few..today there is possibly none.

AUPride,
He is at the flagship school of the most competitive conference in the country hands down. Like Forbes stated he is college football's most powerful coach and he can build a dynasty at Alabama with the consistent classes he is bringing in. Very possible he could sign the top class in the country again this year. There is no doubt in my mind that Saban could build Alabama into a Miami like program of old in terms of success if he chose to stick around through his contracted years of 2017. He is the best best coach in the game, arguably the best recruiter and has an obsessive compulsive work ethic in all areas.

What do you not understand about personality traits? I'm not saying he couldn't stay at UA and be great, what I'm saying is he won't be happy doing that! The only thing I could compare it to is having sex with your husband/wife.. At first it's unexplored territory and fun, but after a while the thrill is gone and it's just not that great anymore...

You are looking at things in terms of personality traits when there is nothing to look at. He is already at the end of the road and there is nowhere else to go that would provide him with more. Saban will finish is coaching career at Alabama as the most recognizable current coach in college football easily and that will fullfil his enormous ego.

Plus I doubt he could recruit possibly 3 straight #1 classes at Penn State. He is going to have some incredibly talented teams at Alabama in the coming years.

There is no end of the road in terms of building/re-building... Many would say Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Michigan would be the end of the road as far as tradition goes.. UA isn't the end all in college football, and just because you have it great doesn't mean you're happy- Just look at Tiger Woods

Saban will be the only coach to have two national championships from different schools. That's not an elite club, that's saban's own personal club. Numero uno.

"UA isn't the end all in college football"
More National Championships than any other, more bowl games than any other, the greatest collge coach of all time made his name there etc etc. Alabama is the top school in the top conference in college football. Hard to find something to match that.

Every person that I have ever spoken with who has cheated on their spouse has ultimately felt unfulfilled. Yeah, you get your rocks off...but then feel like an arse. What don't you understand about personality traits? Nick Saban is a smart enough guy to realize that he exhausted all goodwill he had when he left the Dolphins. I am amazed at the amount of AU people that struggle to understand the concept that more exist than just a larger paycheck. He chased the NFL dream and found it for want. Someone asked in this thread what Penn State could offer that UA couldn't. Honestly not being a UA homer, I can say nothing. Money = no. Prestige = no. Try to wrap your simple mind around this. NO ONE WANTS TO FOLLOW JOE PA! If you think Coach Bryants shadow was large...trying following it immediately after his retirement...that is the equivalent.

Elite meaning he's only mentioned among a few other greats... That doesn't mean you have to have the same accomplishments

After Saban wins his gratuitous one NC at Bama, he is out. Probably when Kelly is fired at ND in 2-3 years.

Haha yes by my previous posts you can safely assume I'm simple minded, like I haven't thought about the situation.. GTFO.. I'm going to end this arguement now. If you want to believe Saban will be at UA until he retires and that makes you happy than so be it. I'm not trying to sway your feelings, only voiceing my opinion.

Saban won't be leaving Bama anytime soon. Everybody keeps talking about how he left LSU so they assume he'll do the same eventually to us.
He went to Miami to try being a head coach it did'nt work for him so he quit Left a 5Mil a year job for 4Mil so money is'nt an issue.
Please remember he was an assistant under Bill Belicek of the Patriots once. He learned a lot under him.
Pro Ball is not for Saban. He's happy where's he's at at the moment.

It doesn't do much for your argument to spell it arguement.

If anyone has a gratuitous NC in the SEC, it is Miles. Saban came into a 7-6 team, took them to the SEC championship game..turned around and took the next years team to an SEC championship with a chance at a NC. Miles walked into a winner..took advantage, and then recorded the worst year after a championship in history..
