benefit LSU? Nick Saban has never been one to be satisfied or to except failure. Should Alabama repeat next year, how many out there think Saban would start to reconsider an NFL gig? I, for one, think it would be in his personality to feel like the accomplishments he has achieved in CFB are enough for him and that his lack of success in the NFL would drive him to that challenge again. I think he would begin to look back at the things he did and didn't do and if the right opportunity presented itself he would go. If it were a organization he felt he could be successful with, he would go. And yes, don't fool yourself, the opportunities will be there.

Saban is at UA until he is ready to retire. He may give the NFL a shot at that point as sort of a what the hell thing but I think he has decided he is better off where he is.

I think Nick's NFL itch has been scratched. He may leave Bama for a more desirable (personal level) job but he's not going back to the NFL.

No. An Alabama repeat does not benefit LSU. LSU winning football games benefits LSU. Get over your Nick Saban man-crush. He's Alabama's coach. I don't care when he leaves.

I dont think a 'repeat' would sway Saban one way or the other. Around the 4th-5th year is when his eye starts wandering and the 'new' wears off of his current gig. I look for him to be gone from Bama within 3 years. His next destination would likely be another shot at the NFL or a Penn State/ Notre Dame type job.

I cant ever see him doing a Spurrier and going to a mediocre school to just fade away into the sunset.

Seeing's how he's already done if before I'd say yeah, there's a chance he bolts again some day.

I would not rule out Saban taking another shot at the NFL at some point.

But Saban making his personal decisions based soley on what happens to Pete Carrol...

Saban is a hell of a coach that is driven by challenge. I don't think he is ever happy, even after winning championships.

He is young enough to accept a challenge at a name school such as Penn State and I have no doubt that he would win the big one there, also.

I look for him to move on. And soon

I would rather him stay at Bama so we can beat his arse on a yearly basis.

I am amazed how many people here are personal friends with Les, Nick, and others.

I've never met any of them.

You guys are off the chain with all the Saban talk.

Any chance Saban's son would coach at LSU?

We are actively recruiting his brother-in-law's great nephew. He is only 7, but is putting up big numbers.

if the Carroll deal at Seattle works out. I think other teams may offer some of the top coaches in college the same deal. JIMO

I stopped here.

In no way would a repeat national championship by a team in LSU's division, led by LSU's former coach, be beneficial to LSU. In no way.

Our fanbase is retarded, in general, and this post is further evidence of our collective delusion.

How about we just beat Alabama and win our own damn title? Ever think of that?

Ever since his failure at the NFL, he has considered going back. Just waiting for a better job than the Dolphins IMO.
