re: Bama: Post Saban

Here is a point I haven't seen brought up which will be critical for bama post-saban.

Saban is very much a micromanager and controls pretty much all aspects of the football program (and even some of the media, etc.) in the state. when he goes away, there is going to be a HUGE power vaccum created and what and who fills that is going to make a difference. It will be tough to find a coach who will fill that whole power vacuum that Saban leaves and what happens to the rest will matter a lot.

As a case in point to what happens when a huge micromanger leaves, look at Arkansas after Petrino. Yes he left under odd circumstances, but he is also the type that left a large power vaccuum when he left.
