re: How far does Bama fall when Saban leaves?

If Dabo stays on his current pace he will absolutely be the guy I want after Saban.

I'm about 90% sure Dabo will be the guy. He will stay on same pace or close to it. Saban likely coaches at least 5 more years. If he leaves after 6 more seasons, Dabo's youngest son will have finished high school.

Dabo to Bama is an easy call at any point 5+ years from now. The tougher call is who would Bama take if Saban decides to leave in 2-3 years (which doesn't seem likely at this point, but anything could happen).
