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.
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.

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.
