He also has a burning desire to go out as the GOAT so he will be coaching for awhile. He wants to knock Bryant off his throne. So, this train ain't slowing down for any time soon.
I think most people already consider him better than Bryant.
And that's great about his desire and all. But do you really think Nick Saban is the first coach with a burning desire to go out on top? Those are the ones that always overstay their welcome. Just because he wants to do something doesn't mean he will.
Maybe the cracks in Saban's armor aren't showing and vulnerable yet, but the shine is definitely starting to wear off. Teams aren't scared of Saban or Bama anymore. The good teams no longer dread lining up against Bama, they look forward to the test. Saban and Bama are still in good enough shape to win titles, but that doesn't mean you haven't peaked. It's only going to get harder from here on out. Parity is back.

I think losing eats at Nick Saban more than any other coach out there. Sure almost all of them "want" to be the GOAT. But Nick Saban lets it define him to his core. He puts winning the next play above almost everything else in his life. TBH Ms. Terry must really love him becuase it's amazing that he still has a family.

Dawwww....little buddy. Don't worry, Auburn will get over to the East before Saban retires.
And I will take a 70 year old Saban before I take a 40 year old nobody who claims to be the next up and comer. And you would too...

Parity after Bama, yes, buy look at the standings in the SEC last year. We finished 2nd in the league and we (along with UF, LSU, UGA, UT, A&M) were all within a game of each other. The drop off from Bama to the next team is precipitous.
I think that will improve this year because we've got better QB play in the league, but NOBODY has the insane depth that Bama has right now and we'll see that come November as teams fall by the wayside.
It sucks but it is what it is, and to say parity is back is inaccurate IMO.
