re: Has Nick Saban lived up to his own expectations

I think in ways he has and ways he hasn't.
He wanted the premier elite program in the country and hes got it.
Wanted the premier recruiting machine and has got it.
Wanted to win at an unprecedented pace and has done so.
Wanted to be the best of all time and he is.
Also think year to year he expects to win it all and does more than not.
As far as not meeting them, those are primarily his insane expectations of himself. His greatness is born in his never being completely satisfied.
I think at this point he sees every season as a different, unique challenge with his own expectations for the group. The legacy is set so now he's just padding it. Until the day comes where he no longer gets excited and driven by those year to year expectations, he's gonna be around. He doesn't seem close to burnt out to me. I think hes got 5 minimum left in him. Too bad for me as an LSU fan but what can you do.
