re: Top 5 programs next 3 years

My only question is it usually takes Saban 2 years to build up that talent. He has a good season, then great, and once key players they drop back to medicore

I'm not sure what the question was in there... but...

All I'm saying is that in my view, sustaining is having consistent good years and an occasional great year with the possible aberration mixed in. The fallout that comes at the end of Saban's tenures that you describe as "back to mediocre" is not sustaining the program.

He has never really had a chance as he doesn't stick with a program for more than 5 years.

And this is all I was saying. It is in the nature of Saban to restore a program and then abandon it. He doesn't take currently great programs and keep them great.
