Saban just turned 66 October 31st. Belichick turns 66 in April, about 6 months difference.

it saddens me but i got to give a slight edge to Belichick retiring first.

Belichick for sure.

Saban has established a machine that basically runs itself. Yes, he's still the general, but those 5 stars will keep coming in. The hottest assistant coaches would love to learn from him. The program's little details with academics, graduation rates, strength and conditioning, leadership, etc are right where they need to be.

Belichick works in an environment with a lot more parity. Further, if Tom Brady every starts to fall off or if he retires, Belichick will end up like all the other schmucks in the NFL looking for a good quarterback. I don't mean to say the Patriots would start to suck without Brady, but to think they'll continue this kind of run with a hired hand at QB is foolishness.

Saban proved this week that he can replace a 25-2 starter for a true freshman quarterback with zero meaningful experience and come back to win the national championship against a really solid football team.

Saban could ride this out til 75 IYAM.

I think Saban’s deal with Lucifer expires in 2020. So I think Bill will still be around after the devil comes to collect.

Doesn’t Belichick have some other hobbies like music and stuff. I know he hangs out with bon jovi a lot. I don’t know if Saban does anything outside of football besides little Debbie’s.

and that's 9 years right there.

and paterno coached another 9-10 years after that. Scary to even contemplate having Saban at bama oiling the machine another 12-18 years.

Probably Saban. His personal life is more stable. He's been with his wife forever while Belichick's divorced. I can see Saban settling down and enjoying retirement with his wife. I don't know what Belichick will do without football.

Belichick. Brady gonna be gone soon and won't be easy to replace. Doubt he'll want to keep coaching if the Pats have trouble finding a suitable replacement for Brady.

But the 5 star recruits will keep pouring in for Saban.

Saban is going to be the guy who retires and then becomes the nicest person in the world.

Saban will retire in the next couple of years.


Belechik is going to the Browns and get them in the SB next year.

Saban enjoys going to his lake house in Georgia. If he's not working, he's probably at the lake.

Nobody is going to want to follow Saban. They'll have their Zook for a few years and then get Dabo.

Hopefully Saban stays past the end of the Orgeron experiment. I want us to be able to fill the power vacuum when Saban retires.
