For any SEC fans out there that despise what Alabama has become under Nick Saban and hope the 66-year-old coach will call it a career anytime soon, that may just be wishful thinking at this point according to ESPN’s Chris Low.

After catching up with Saban and his Alabama program recently, Low wrote a piece for ESPN.com detailing the drive of the Crimson Tide’s leader — a drive that doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

Following the publishing of the story, Low joining WJOX 94.5 FM radio show The Roundtable to discuss his thoughts on Saban’s future and how long he will remain on the sidelines in Tuscaloosa. When asked how long Saban will likely end up coaching the Crimson Tide — over or under five more years — Low said he’d go over. In fact, he called that a safe bet in his opinion.

“I’d go over. I agree with Coach Spurrier (as referenced in his ESPN article), I think (Saban) will go well into his 70s.”

Setting aside potential health issues with him or his family or potential administrative issues at Alabama, Low further explained his reason for making that statement.

“He’s so immune to the things that happen around him in the periphery, he’s just so tuned in to what’s right in front of him and that’s coaching ball. That’s what he wants to do. He loves recruiting, he loves evaluating kids, he loves coaches, he loves being a part of the drills,” Low continued. “You go to the Fourth Quarter program in the offseason, he’s right in the middle of that. He’s on the coaches, on the players — this is what Nick Saban loves to do.

“People call it the grind but I don’t think it’s a grind to him. I think it’s a love affair. He loves football. He loves being around the players. He loves seeing them grow. He loves seeing them get better. He likes molding teams, building teams and when you have that type of success that he’s had, why would you walk away?

Low took it a step further and noted that without football, Saban would likely be lost in life.

“Nick’s one of those guys, I don’t think he’s ashamed to say, I don’t think he knows what he would do if he weren’t coaching football,” Low continued. “I would put the over at plus five, I think that’s a pretty safe bet right now.”

That’s just what every Alabama fan wanted to hear. For the rest of the SEC… Not so much.
