re: All joking aside, if Saban does leave this will look terrible in the public eye.

He's spent seven years trying to live down that comment from when he was at the Dolphins. Now, he has specifically gone out of his way on 60 Minutes, Sportscenter w/ Tom Rinaldi, and FS1 w/ Erin Andrews, and said he wasnt leaving. If he leaves, his legacy and reputation are forever in tatters. He'd be really stupid to do that to himself.

Absolutely. I just posted something on the Bama board. If Saban were to leave, it will be ugly. There's just no graceful exit possible at this point, and that's really a shame. That being said, he ain't going anywhere.
