I never stated he would go to Penn State per se, I just feel he won't be at UA until he retires.


So, in your knowledgeable and vast opinion, what fair team will he be bequeathing his coaching prowess upon?

But yes I do believe if he went to Notre Dame he could have the same success, or Penn State, or Michigan, etc. If you don't believe that you don't believe he is one of the best ever.


Alabama has won more championships and games than any of those teams. Like I said already he is at the top of the food chain. It is not a popular thing to say on TD but it is a simple fact.

There are many with a rich tradition that could use a lift: Nebraska, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, maybe USC in a few years... I'm not trying to debate on one school, I'm only saying Saban will move on to another challenge..

One of the reasons Saban has been so successful at Alabama is that he accepted with his VERY strict terms of complete control. It took Alabama to hit rock bottom for the egos of the administration to give such control, and there was still an internal struggle the first year. This happens with any big or storied program, and there aren't many who are willing to give away such control. Notre Dame hasn't been able to do it. I doubt Penn State will immediately after Joe Pa. Any school he goes to after Alabama will be one where he gets to call the shots.
