Age of enlightenment: Nick Saban on retirement talk, the NFL and more

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - All those people a decade ago who had Nick Saban coaching in his 10th A-Day spring game this Saturday at Alabama, please stand up.

If we were all taking truth serum, there would be a lot more people sitting than standing. Probably enough to fill Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Saban flashed a wry smile when told somebody could have made a fortune in Vegas back in 2007 betting that Saban would have stayed at Alabama (or anywhere, for that matter) for 10 years. The odds were heavily against it for a nomad who had never stayed anywhere longer than five years in his coaching career.
