    Feinbaum just likes getting a rise out of people. Sabans not leaving that dynasty he has built.... Same stuff is always mentioned with calipari at UK. Both coaches will likely retire from their current position imo

    Feinbaum's probably trying to help Nick get more money at Bama by starting a crazy rumor.

    Teflon John will eventually feel the pressure of violations coming, and jump to another job. Its his method of operation.

    Lol I'd be surprised. He would have stuck with Memphis had UK not come knocking, you don't turn down that job offer.

    Keep hopin though bud! Only remote possibility I see is after another championship or two he gets a shot to coach the heat or thunder and make a run at an NBA title.

    Where can you move up the coaching totem pole from UK? Same principle with Alabama football. As if that isn't enough, UK and Bama have the pockets and stupidity to match NBA offers money wise.

    I think Saban gets bored with Bama after awhile, especially if he wins 1 or 2 more championships. The pressure on his ego to see if he can really succeed in the NFL will be just too much. Saban believes he is a god. You know he wants to dominate in the NFL as well.

    If the Cowboys offer, I think Saban is gone.

    You really can't, but I don't think he retires at UK. There will be violations or he will get bored and go somewhere else. Lay a bet on it.

    I'm not hoping he gets caught. I'm just a fan of history.

    And so do many of the Bammers! Didn't the LSU fans have an opposite name for him?:lol:

    We've got to give him props though... he can win.

    The pressure to remain "king of the hill" has to be pretty intense, especially knowing how short us fan's memories are when we endure a terrible season. It may lead a coach to consider doing things out of character for him. You are right... history repeats itself.

    Agree on all points. Have been saying this since they won their last MNC.

    I guess one could get bored with winning multiple championships...but if it is ego that makes one move on, wouldn't solidifying yourself as putting together the greatest run in college coaching history surpass a shot at the pros?

    I can see a valid point if a top tier pro team comes calling, but I'd still lay money that Cal and Saban retire at their respective jobs.

    The success of Harbaugh at San Fran must be eating him up inside.

    Saban could be chasing someone's National Championship total. I think it irks him that he remains in the shadow of you know who.
