After a fifth national championship in nine years, some wondered if Nick Saban might ride off into the sunset, if not this offseason but sometime in the near future.
And it's certainly been part of some opposing coaches recruiting pitches.
But the 66-year-old Alabama coach told ESPN's Chris Low that he has no plans of slowing down, despite the annual expectation of the Crimson Tide winning a national championship.
"That's what everybody keeps saying, that I'm not going to be doing this for much longer, and all the people who say it have no idea what I'm going to do," Saban told ESPN's Low.
