Well Bear is a perfect example. The game had started to pass him by by 1968. Went through a few "down" seasons and retooled with the wishbone.
Look at Bear's record in the 70's. That's not 6-7 years. That's a decade. Also, he didn't start to lose it at the end. He went 27-8 in his final three years with 4 of those loses coming in the final season. He died at 69 years old (and he was an old 69). Saban will be 66 this season and he's a young 66.

Was never driven like Saban is and, honestly, he was at USCe at the end. If he was at Florida at the end he may have been able to maintain closer to his standards.
Saban may fall off the map at some point, but there is nothing about HIS resume or personality that seems to indicate it is possible, and based on his personality and resume I wouldn't really compare him to anyone else.

So you're saying you expect Saban to keep winning at this clip into his late 70's/early 80's? Even though there is absolutely no precedent for such a thing in any sport ever?
