re: So will Saban go the way of Bowden and Brown

You can't really compare him to those guys. Brown won 1 NC in his career, Bowden 2 .
Saban has won 4 in what 11 years. Different breed.
I think he is in real trouble on the last 5-7 years of his career, maybe only 2-3 more NC. Poor guy just ain't much.
