So you're saying you expect Saban to keep winning at this clip into his late 70's/early 80's?
No. Not at all. I'm saying I expect Saban to coach another 6-8 years and for every one of those seasons to be 10+ win seasons. I expect him to win another 1-3 titles in that 6-8 years. I then expect him to retire in his mid 70's and the program to be handed off to his replacement in better shape than any program has ever been handed off to any replacement in the history of college football.

Even though there is absolutely no precedent for such a thing in any sport ever?
What he's done the past 10 years at Bama has no precedent. Why do you want to put precedent as a limitation on him moving forward?

We're not even really disagreeing that much. He'll be 66 this year. Between then and when he turns 70 i would put no limitations on what he can do and wouldnt expect any dropoff. That's 5 years. Then yeah after that i'd expect 3 or 4 years of relative "decline", yet still solid by most standards. 9-4, 10-3 type seasons.
