NS has at least 5-7 good years left in him and he is in good health and good shape. I see him coaching to 70 at least.


70? You know life expectancies are going up, especially for first world wealthy. Warren Buffet still manages to lead Berkshire Hathaway at well over 80. I think Saban may coach well into his 90's if not beyond.

Each year brings advances in medicine. A fanbase like Bama's would provide an ample supply of living organ donors, for kidneys, liver, and even heart transplants. I bet if Bill Battle sent a letter out asking Bama fans to sign up as living heart donors for Nick Saban, the only problem would be telling some of them that their ABO blood type is not a match and they will not be placed on the list of living heart donors.

LSU/UGA are doing work too.



And yet Alabama will probably end up with a better class than either come NSD. Rinse. Repeat.

Yeah. That false inflation by the recruiting services is also the reason for L5U, right? Maybe the services are right and Alabama's getting better players? Or maybe they're just kicking L5U's arse with inferior players?

This is going to be really hard for y'all when the fall from success comes.

If you're expecting a fall from the mountain top to the bottom of a canyon, you'll be sorely disappointed. However, college football is cyclical. It's going to end.

Meh, it is all perspective.

Several younger Alabama fans are used to being in the hunt every year. For them, a modest fall will be like jumping off the cliff.

Saban's run is pretty much unprecedented. I think it would be hard for anyone else to ever repeat. And that is surely going to put some pressure on a new coach.

I mean Hell, last year an SEC coach with a really solid record almost got fired and another one did get canned.

I think Alabama fans will be just as harsh on whoever replaces Saban.

Who wants to replace the legend?

As Bama fans, we can deal with it and we have before. But it's always temporary for us. Bama will always be a top 5 football team. People just need to understand this.
