re: Predict the year Saban retires.

quote:

---

Saban is only 5 or 6 years away from that point. He will either retire in the next few years or his performance will start declining when he reaches 70 just like every other coach in the history of college football

Saban is 7 years away from 70, which is why I predicted 2021. But I could also see him sticking around for another 3 years depending on his health.

But I think the way he runs the program is different than how Bowden ran his. Bowden was much more of a CEO type that wasn't has hands on, especially in his later years. I don't think Saban could ever not have his hands over the entire program. I think Bowden having less and less of a hand on the program is one of the contributing factors to the decline of his program in his later years.
