Sabans stated that if he feels like a hindrance to the team, he's step down so he wouldn't hurt the team. In no way is that the case right now. And whenever the time comes for him to retire, he's left this program in great shape. Get a great coach to come in with a similar system, and it should keep rolling. And Byrne's shown he can make a great hire, so he'll be a key part of that as well. Let's just enjoy Saban for a another decade(hopefully).
Indeed... Do not see it beeing a decade but lets enjoy however long it is.

I hope we have him for that long, but we may not. We'll see, I just hope we're like LSU and are able to have success after him.
No way it's a decade.

I'll take that high end. Have a couple spots left in bama den for NC stuff
I'll take the low end.
@SnakeDoc are you hoping for that or just thinking he is about ready to make that call? I do not see the low end.
Both.
Ok I do not understand why you would hope the GOAT would step down. That is where you leave me shaking my head.
I just think it's time. Plus, with college now more like the NFL than ever, I'm not sure that his message is still getting through (same reason-$). It didn't seem to last year, and I think that was more of a new normal than an anomaly. I think players will all give lip service to "the process," but as they make more and more $ in college, I believe we'll continue to see players making mistakes that either never happened before, or never happened with the frequency that we're now seeing. We just had the most penalized Alabama team under Saban, I believe.
I also think a coach hanging on too long can do much more damage to a program than one leaving a year too early. Belichick used to be the best at this when it came to players, but now, not so much.
I doubt anyone else on the board, or in, and I hate this term, "Bama nation" agrees, and that's fine. But I'm ready for a change, for those reasons and a few more.

2 close loses last year...away
#1 recruiting class coming in...nobody recruits like nick
A+ assistant coaches taking over...for weak less prepared ones
Nick still has some bounce...some are worried about AGE....
Well...i can tell you....what you lose as you age...you make up In experience....to some point.
This will start to negatively affect recruiting sooner, rather than later.

Well...buddy...we all do get older..the lucky ones anyway...
It might ...more worries than recruiting..is the portal....
How many he recruits to come play at bama for him...and bail when he is gone
That will take some great management of our program
That was my point about Byrne.
