Coaching in Nick Saban's DNA
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama is rolling toward what the Crimson Tide hope is a third national championship in four seasons, and Nick Saban is rolling toward coaching immortality.

He's already the only coach since the advent of The Associated Press poll in 1936 to have won two national championships at two different schools.

If the Crimson Tide can repeat this season, Saban would become the first coach since Tom Osborne at Nebraska in 1994 and 1995 to win outright national titles in successive years.

Will Saban have so much success at Alabama that he'll get the itch to seek another challenge elsewhere? He insists not, even though his name is going to invariably come up any time there are marquee openings in the college game or the NFL.

"I think most people know I'm here for the long haul," Saban said. "I'm not looking for another challenge. I've done that too much.

"When I was at LSU, I was ready to settle in except for one thing: Would I ever go to the NFL? Well, I did that and learned about myself and feel fortunate that I got back to a good place where you had a chance to win, and that was here. So regardless of what anybody else says, I'm not looking for another challenge.

He has said that consistently.  The only thing we need to be concerned about is retirement.

And not since Frank Leahy at Notre Dame in the late 1940s has a coach won three outright titles in a four-year span.
