10 years. He’s 69 and looks and talks like he is in his mid-50s.

Unfortunately, I think coaching football is one of the very few things that bring Corch Saban joy. Suspect he'll be around for a while....

I think 5 is bare minimum, and would be highly unexpected for him to quit before that. I think 10 is more likely, or as long after 5 thriving years he is still doing well enough to keep at it.

Not sure how old you are, but things start to change once you reach our age. I'm not gonna even lie....I want him gone.

Saban is a detailed (OCD) control freak. He can't operate in that realm at home with Miss Terry and the grandkids.

This post pretty much describes his situation. As long as his health(mental and physical) is good, he'll be punishing the rest of the college football world.

He’s around 69 years old.

He’s healthy. I would guess 7-10 more years without intervention.

Actuarial data would give him good odds of living to 95 or so, however, with medical advances, living heart, liver, kidney, and lung donors, evolving cybernetics, and an unlimited budget, Saban May never actually die.

He may coach in perpetuity.

If that's the case, then all y'all need to go find something else to occupy your time!

Realistically, how many more years do you Bama fans expect Saban will remain head coach?

Minimum 5, Max 10.

But, who knows. He is driven, in good health, and still seems to have the passion for the job and all that goes into it. He could be around for a while

He hates what he calls "overkill" but UAB's finest monitor his health & wellness down to the smallest detail.

I heard he'll leave Alabama within the first three years. He'll probably go to Texas.

Oh I can imagine if Saban is coaching in the same shape Joe Biden is in now.....AU will go back to the the days of Tubs when winning 5 and 6 in a row was expected.

He'll coach until he's wandering the sidelines shitting himself...then he'll be a consultant.

He told me he'd likely retire after the 2029 season.
