If winning a natty gets Saban to retire, do you pinch your nose and root for the tide?

I’d rather them get pummeled

If it meant saban would retire? I think I’d go for that. Ask yourself this question, who is likely to step in and replace Bama with no saban? In my opinion that would be us. It would be a win in the field and in recruiting to have saban retire.

frick Alabama.

Not saying I want Saban to win but I sure as hell don't want Mich, Wash or Texas to win.

Nope.

Keep losing. He will eventually retire.

Is this a trick question?
No way we would root for Alabama.

But it brings up an intriguing question:
Who would the Red Menace hire if Saban did retire?

Dabo? Bring back Sarkisian? Or Kiffin? (I'm spitballing here)

There truly is nobody alive who wouldn't be a major downgrade in the head coaching position for them.

Let's all pray that that glorious day comes soon.

im pulling for them anyways this year

I just can’t see that premise holding up. It is rare for the highly successful to walk away.

I think a loss, especially in humiliating fashion, would go much farther in getting him to retire in the next few years than another title would.

Another title just reinforces a belief that it still working and probably keeps him around another 4-5 years.

Will never root for them even when Satan retires. I hope they crumble to the ground.

If he wins the natty this year, he coaches until 80. Just get used it.
