Ridiculous Thought Experiment - Would you be in favor of hiring 71 year old Nick Saban if he would take the job but ditch the Air Raid?

Pulling back the curtain - intent of this was to get candid answer to a question by asking another question. The real question being “how important is it to keep the Air Raid?”. Sentiment seems to be - pretty damn important.

I think Saban has maybe 2-3 years left and most would probably agree with that as a median estimate. So I gather people would not want 2-3 years of the greatest coach of all time (and all the publicity and fanfare coming along with it) if it meant ditching the current system. That makes it pretty difficult to justify hiring anyone else who would do the same.

I’m also a “no”, BTW.

We just lost one coach while he was coaching here, just saying he's 71!!!!!

No. Never. Not for all the tea in Chinatown. He is an awful human being.
