Writers, pundits and fans alike seem to always want to chat about what is next for Nick Saban after his historic run at Alabama is done.

But if you ask Saban himself, like ESPN’s Chris Low did recently, you might just believe that Alabama is the spot he plans to stay for the remainder of his career.

Here is a snippet from the interview with Saban, where the Alabama coach has been asked if he ever envisions himself coaching somewhere other than Tuscaloosa:

“No, I really don’t. I don’t see it ever happening, and I know every year somebody has me going somewhere else,” Saban told ESPN.com in a wide-ranging interview. “I think a lot of it isn’t just about the coaching part. What people don’t understand is they forget you’re a person. They forget you have a wife and two kids and a grandbaby, and they all live in Birmingham.

“They all work here. My wife goes to Birmingham five times a week. My mom lives in Birmingham now after moving from Myrtle Beach. It’s not just the job. A lot of people don’t get that. My life is here.”

The interview, posted by Low on Tuesday night, is certainly worth a read in its entirety.
