I doubt he will stay for all eight years if he has the chance however I believe he will probably be fired within the first five years. People at Alabama seem to think they are still an elite program when in reality the days of Alabama glory and Bear Bryant are long gone.

Saban won't stay in Bama for the eight year duration. Looking at his track record, he is more concerned about how much he can get in his pockets than the team that he "cares" about. If he does not start Alabama's program off with nearly immediate success, then fans will be calling for his head (the same way that Suoth Carolina fans were with Spurrier's first season with the college). The SEC is relentless when it comes to the fans, so Saban needs to produce the same way he did with LSU. Luckily, he is more a collegiate-minded coach when it comes to football, so he will probably have more success there.
Still, he won't stay at the college for all eight years. Look for him to go four years and then move to another college or even a different conference.

Using the name Saban and honor in the same sentence does not seem right somehow. What ever happened to people who keep their word? Does everyone now have a price?

No, he will accept a higher paying head coaching job at Temple University in 2-3 yrs.

Track record says no. Whatever happened to a contract being honored?

Saban is a dope! He is a terrible coach! He will run once the going gets tough in Tuscaloosa.

no he will be there longer, tear up the contract and coach for free. if the team does badly he will only blame himself. he will be honest and never lie to the media.

He is a chump now. He will get fired from Bama if they don't win fast.
