with these retirement rumors floating, his reaction to the LSU win makes a lot more sense now

He didn't say anything. He jumped into AJ's arms like a 6yr old girl seeing daddy come home from Iraq. He didn't even act like that after any of his championship games.

That is Saban's real legacy.

He had 1-2 hard games a year, lost half of them, and because of his blustering and recruiting backed his way into National Championship games where he beat teams that any of the top 5-6 SEC teams would have slaughtered.

The fact is, Saban won 2 SEC championships in 7 years - the same number as LSU and Auburn. The rest is simply manipulation and the "aura" that he created with recruits and the media.

You like that?

I'm glad you laughed. I was obviously kidding.

I was pretty proud of it, myself. I went hard on that one and came up with a pretty solid post, I think.

Burnout? I see him working as hard as ever on the recruiting trail. If he leaves its for money and Austin. If he doesn't I don't see the burnout.

I would disagree with that. Next hire is critical.

I think he's a burnout at this point, and doesn't have the energy any more. If he stays, he won't reach the pinnacle he's been at the last four years.


More in likely he is bored. Saban appears to be a builder and the Bama project is complete. Not much more to be accomplish, just a few more dollar bills.

Or he could go else where. Texas is interesting in that he can rebuild not only a school but an entire conference.

Edit Note: My opinion, he isn't going anywhere. I am ok with that.

Remember Auburn was 8-5 twice and 3-9 in the three title years. Also played some soft East division opponents two of those years. Stars won't line up like that again.

With the new playoff coming up it'll be interesting to see if Saban can get a team ready to play two tough games back to back with no layoff.
The last time didn't work out so well.
