I'm sure he'll still be there at 80 years of age.

Saban isn't going to coach into his mid 70s unless he gradually changes his style over the next 5 or 6 years. He's too much of a micromanager.

Coach Bryant was 68 when he stepped down at Alabama.
Bryant was 68 but he had the appearance of a man who was 10-15 years older. I think Saban has a lot more left in the tank. If you look at Saban, he doesn't look like a 60 year old man. He looks like he's in his late 40s, early 50s. I won't be surprised if he keeps coaching for 15 more years. The only thing that might stop him from coaching for a long time is lack of motivation because of his dominance like Tom Osborne at Nebraska.

no way. when bryant coached, it was a different time, coaches stayed longer, especially at their alma maters.
he will retire way before 20 years. i don't see him being a jo pa,hanging on until he is in his eighties.

That was entirely my point.

As a quasi-Nebraska fan, I don't think those last five years of dominance made up for 20 years of misery. I think he more than likely stepped down for family reasons and to pursue a political career.

Well then, show some class for once & say I'm happy where I am, & drop it. In other words, his EGO will always let everyone know opportunity is always there.

Chesterfields and whiskey take their toll on a man over time. As evidenced by his death soon after he retired, football was probably all that kept him going towards the end.
Saban doesn't smoke, probably only drinks socially, and keeps in pretty good shape for a man his age. Age still catches up to everyone at some point though. When it catches up to him he is going to have to start to delegate more, retire, or put a lesser product on the field. You know he won't tolerate the latter option, so it will have to be one of the former two.

Not sure Saban is making it up, Penn State has the 3rd most profitable football program and the nation's largest alumni assoc. Under a different set of circumstances Penn State would and could have backed an armored car to his house.
