re: Prediction: Saban steps down after 2018

Saban being featured so prominently on Gameday today, when his team so decisively lost control of their championship hopes last weekend, gives him every reason to keep going.

Alabama will ALWAYS get the benefit of the doubt as long as he is there.

He can keep reeling off one loss seasons in his sleep for years, and he will.



And as for the perfect handoff is his program to Dabo, uh no. Saban will burn it to the ground on his way out the door just like he tried to at LSU and the way Jimbo did at FSU.

Carroll, Kelly, Meyer. These guys want people to know how valuable they are. Ensuring the success of the program when they leave is counter to everything they are about. They want teams to struggle when they leave.
