When asked what other schools called him about jobs; "It doesn't really matter. We wanted to be at Alabama"


The key word is we. Saban left the Dolphins for Bama because his wife couldn't stand living in Miami. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Saban ends up coaching at Bama for 20 years like Bryant did.

he's always said 'we'. i think he will be there until he's ready to quit. pretty sure he'll be able to still rage on the sidelines without keeling over and dying 10 years from now if he wants.

Coach Bryant was 68 when he stepped down at Alabama. He coached at The Capstone for 25 years. I certainly don't see Coach Saban being in Tuscaloosa that long, but 10-15 years is more than likely. He's 60 now, and his drive and health could very well see him coach into his 70s.

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.

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.
