re: Could an Alabama repeat............

I dont think a 'repeat' would sway Saban one way or the other. Around the 4th-5th year is when his eye starts wandering and the 'new' wears off of his current gig. I look for him to be gone from Bama within 3 years. His next destination would likely be another shot at the NFL or a Penn State/ Notre Dame type job.

I cant ever see him doing a Spurrier and going to a mediocre school to just fade away into the sunset.
