And would you blame him. Like someone else already posted he is a made man at Clemson now. And what experienced HC would want to follow Saban. We have a rabid fan base that is never satisfied and the expectations for the next HC will be to high for any to meet.

Nah, but the pull of home can be strong sometimes. It's easy to say you wouldn't leave without an offer on the table, it's quite another when the offer is in front of you and you have deep ties to the school offering you.

It's a moot discussion right now anyway as I think Saban coaches for another 3-5 years, at least.

No one really knows. He is in a win win. I mean if he wanted bama, the cupboard would be fully stocked and would continue rolling at the place he himself attended/played/ and his first coaching job. That is something I think is the x factor. Having a statue in front of Bryant Denny? How could he not want that? And family is here? Let him have a couple down seasons at Clemson and it would be the same as here. I don't see any difference in pressure as far as jobs concerned. What he built there are the same expectations as here.
