Thus concludes the transformation of Nick Saban. He came as a transient coach. Only content to start up the football programs, breath a little life into their dead carcasses, then start getting restless and be gone.

I honestly thought with his finances and the recession we had a serious chance to lose him with the huge Texas offer. I think after that he was a lot more committed to Alabama for the long haul that most wanted to admit. So it's music to my ears to hear him say and look the part of a Crimson Tide lifer. Here's to season 12.

The most intriguing aspect of Friday afternoon’s announcement of a contract extension for most UA observers wasn’t the dollars. It was the years. Will Saban really be on the sidelines through 2025? He doesn’t show any signs of slowing down and as long as he is given the resources to win, there is little need to look elsewhere. His health is good, and his family situation seems settled.

Was it entirely coincidental that the announcement was made at the beginning of a huge recruiting weekend? If you think that was random, you haven’t been following closely for the past 11 years. Everything connects to recruiting in some way. No one in college football recruits negatively — that is, if you ask them whether they do. But in the wake of Alabama’s success, somehow the talking point comes up for recruits, who have a little bird, one supposes, hinting to them that Saban might retire. What better way to counteract that “rumor” for the visitors to Alabama’s campus?

Even better, since recruiting is sometimes like five-dimensional chess, what more proactive way is there to speak to all those recruits who are heading to other campuses than to have a big ESPN story about how Saban has agreed to a lengthy extension? (ESPN does not stand for Eternal Saban Propaganda Network, no matter what you might hear on social media.)

That’s the biggest evidence of all that Saban isn’t pondering retirement. Sure, cashing a big paycheck helps but Saban clearly deserves to be the highest-paid coach in the game. When you look closely, though, the real story is that he is still thinking, considering every angle, doing everything possible to stay ahead of the competition. For Alabama fans, that says more than all the dollars you can put in a contract.

1. "I don't know if I'll ever get tired of football. One time I thought I might. . . I was out there on the practice field wondering whether football had passed me by. Then I heard the Million Dollar Band playing over on the practice field. When they started playing 'Yea, Alabama,' I got goosebumps all over me. I looked out there and those young rascals in those crimson jerseys, and I just wanted to thank God for giving me the opportunity to coach and contribute in some small way at my alma mater and be a part of the University of Alabama tradition."Coach Bryant -- When asked if he would ever tire of coaching football.

Bowden retired at 80. I'm betting he wasn't playing basketball at lunch everyday when he was 66.
