Saban and his retirement

Most Bama fans I know say he coaches 3-5 more seasons. With 5 being the absolute maximum number of seasons he coaches.
5 years would put him at retiring after the 2017 season.
4 years would put him at retiring after the 2016 season.
3 years would put him at retiring after the 2015 season.
Starting with the 2014 class, If I'm a head coach trying to recruit against Alabama for a recruit, I would put together a slide show similar to something like this. . .
"2014 recruit - If you sign with Alabama, odds are pretty good that Saban will only be your head coach for 2-3 seasons, assuming you redshirt.
2015 recruit - If you sign with Alabama, odds are pretty good that Saban will be your head coach for only 1-2 seasons, assuming you redshirt.
(If Saban hasn't retired by now)
2016 recruit - If you sign with Alabama, odds are you get 1 season with him as your head coach.
I know you're committing to Alabama because of the opportunity he presents to win a championship and make it to the next level, but son, Nick Saban isn't going to be the head coach at Alabama much longer. You'd be better off committing to *insert school* because I have a track record of sending players to the NFL, you'd get earlier playing time, and we are building towards winning a/more championship(s)."
That's just my two cents. Alabama fans will laugh, but it is going to be a tactic used heavily within the next few years, and your recruiting classes are not going to be as good, IMO.

How much rent you charging for the camp Nick Saban has set up in your head?

I'm just going to let you in on a little secret:
Bear Bryant was 69 years old when he retired from coaching. Nick Saban is 61 and isn't as hampered by alcohol or tobacco as Bear was because he doesn't partake in those habits.

I find it sobering that this is what Auburn fans have to hang their hats on.

Saban would just have to put up a powerpoint of all the coaches he's processed while at Alabama. 2 of which were Auburn coaches....with a 3rd newbie shortly to come. Malzahn won't last 4 years at AU.

If Alabama three-peats then Bama's 2014 class will be absolutely ridiculous

Didn't people tell recruits he wouldn't be here more than 4 years back in 07-08? I see how well that worked.
