re: Chances Saban retires soon and coaches the Birmingham Iron..

Well he's got the best coaching job in America. Particularly for him. One that fills his need to compete and fulfills his need to pursue his passion for auto's. He grew up working on cars at his dad's service station and his dream was to be an auto dealer. Not a ball coach. So there sits the American arm of Mercedes Benz in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and they are supporters of the Alabama football program.

MB has accommodated Saban by putting him in ownership positions of multiple dealerships. And will put him in more should he choose that route once he retires from ball. He and especially his wife hate the city. They are from West by God Virginia and live in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in one of the most picturesque spots on earth on a gorgeous lake which is exactly what they dreamed of. For better or worse N. Saban is retiring from coaching at Alabama which I think will happen after the 2022 season. Maybe even after 2021. Although he may see what has happened with others and stay on a while. He has told people he is not going to be a hanger on like some who stayed too long (B. Bowden, Bill Snyder).
