I thought of Saban because of the way he's spoken out against these changes in the past.  Saban was likely nearing retirement age regardless of NIL.  And he really did have LSU built up before his move to Alabama.  So CJ, I pretty much agree with the points you made.

Saban is like the godfather of college football    Of all the remaining and active college coaches, there's very few if any Swinney takes a definite back seat to.  In terms of accomplishments.  Maybe the Georgia coach but that's about all I can think of, off the top of my head.  The Georgia coach has done a good job adapting to the NIL era.  We'll see how Swinney adjusts.  

I know it's been mentioned but Clemson did make the playoffs last year.  Things could be a lot worse for them.  Maybe Swinney has something going after all.
