This isn't a Saban dick riding thread.. but since you asked. Saban is a perfectionist, and he doesn't have what most coaches would call "complete loyalty". I know you want to think your god is perfect and would never hurt his crimson faithful, but he would, and deep down you know it. More money, more power, thats what guys like him want. He's always looking for the next challenge, or the next big thing. He's a fixer.. if you think Saban switching schools after this season (not necessarily the one loss) but that expectations are extremely high for him from 90% of your fanbase (admittedly most of which don't post here), and he didn't meet them this season.. things have hit a ceiling, what more can he do at Bama? It'll never be enough, and if it is enough for him to stay, he will be retiring as coach in less than 5 years.. cause he will get bored.

Yes.

No one does. See Miles/Arky last year.

Saban is a damn good coach. Nothing more.

Deep down I know he will do what is best for him and his.

quote:

That is an awfully broad generalization.

quote:

People change as they get older.

A good place to tinker would be with UA's special teams.

I don't even know what to make of this.

Continue to win? Be the first coach to win a playoff?

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on how much each of us know the man.

I feel comfortable saying I don't know the man, therefore making declaratory statements wouldn't be prudent. You feel differently. No biggie.
