re: Saban: Others pursued services after BCS title

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.

That was entirely my point.

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.

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.
