Alabama is an interesting case. They certainly have proven to have all the resources necessary not just to win championships, but dominate college football. But whoever comes after Saban will be walking into a HUGE shadow of expectations. Bama is not the only school able and willing to pay big dollars for a HC. A great coach can make big money AND not have to live up to the incredible standard established by Saban. So in a strange way Saban's success may make it less of a destination job than it was before

Other than the money he'll get, I won't envy that guy the pressure he'll be under.

Bama was historically a top 5 all time program before Saban ever arrived so it’s not like he exposed a fan base to winning titles that had never experienced it before. Sure, besides Stallings, no one matched the Bryant days until Saban but other than when Bama was under sanctions, they were generally pretty good. Proven coaches with a competitive drive will not shy away from the standard Saban has set.
