He'll be there until Ms. Terry tells him he has to quit.
And while I fully appreciate the confidence of Bama fans that they will find someone worth to replace him, it might help to recall Saban's curriculum vitae when he was hired:
- 10 years HC in Power 5 conference
- 5 years HC in SEC
- 1 NC
- 2 SECCs
- Zero NFL aspirations
How likely are you to find someone with anything remotely resembling those credentials? And even more important, do you really think the Bama braintrust will give your next HC the kind of total control over the program that Saban was given when he was hired?

Zero. The best realistic shot we have is Dabo and/or Fisher, and their resumes will be impressive but not quite at that level (and I'm not sure we could get either).

Unlike pre-Saban we had an elite athletic department run by an elite athletic director. I have faith that they'll do all they can to get things right.
