The link is to a good article about the fact that Coach Saban likes being at Alabama. Probably most importantly Terry Saban likes being at Alabama and CS is not getting any younger. CS turns 60 in October. The article points out that CS has not stayed anywhere more than 5 years. This is CS 5th season at the Capstone. The longer CS coaches at Alabama the greater the probability of him finishing his career at Alabama. I sure hope that is how it plays out.
"So while history says Saban will leave Alabama after this season, there is feeling in the state that he has made his final coaching stop and will set a new personal record next year with his sixth consecutive season at the same school. The general consensus is that Saban will coach at Alabama for another five to seven years and then retire. If he can win a couple more national championships along the way, which certainly seems possible, he will have a total of four titles on his resume and go down as one of the greatest coaches in college football history. That has to be a strong incentive for Saban to stay. Plus, they have already built a 9-foot-tall statue of Saban outside Alabama’s Bryant-Denny Stadium. How can a coach leave a place where he is viewed as being literally larger than life?" Read more here.
