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

I expect him to stick around as long as he wants to and continue to compete for the NC at a very high level.
I do think that if he ever hits the point where he can't do that, he will quit.
I don't see him hanging around like Paterno or Bowden, because I don't think he identifies himself as the personification of bammer the way they did with PSU and FSU.
It would be cool if, after he retires, a Paterno-scale scandal about bammer under his watch comes out.
