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

He will go out on his own terms because:
(1) He is just that damn good;
(2) He wants to win at least one title under the new format...and he will...perhaps as early as this year; and
(3) He has been deified in the State of Alabama in the same way as the Bear...you don't just throw your god to the wayside...even if he is unable to win a title for the remainder of this career.
