Yes expectations and having to coach in the SEC, which might be a bit down right now but is far superior traditionally to the ACC. Also by the time Saban retires, the SEC could be a lot better. We don't know how many years Saban has left.

Why are you guys so offended that he might not want to replace the greatest college coach of all-time and step into expectations that he had nothing to do with. If anything, his success at Clemson would only make expectations at Bama even higher. How would that be a knock on Bama if he stayed where he calls the shots and has built his own legacy?

Who is offended?

Pointing out someone making absolute statements regarding an individual they have zero contact with isn't being offended.

We aren't the ones stating he won't take the Alabama job as fact. That's where the argument lies.

We're saying the reasons you are pointing out wouldn't really matter in the grand scheme of things because he's creating high expectations on his own. If he maintains his current pace the expectations at Clemson in 2024 would be the same at Alabama.

Will he take the Alabama job if offered? Who knows?

Based on his recent comments you'd be stupid to not acknowledge that he hasn't seriously considered it.
