To those that follow the game more closely than I do, this question might sound uninformed, but here goes (this is one reason I enjoy this board, to get info):
Will next season be Tua's last year at Bama, or will he be here two more seasons?
I also wonder... it's my understanding that Tua's younger brother also has the magic touch, and may well be an adequate replacement for his brother when the time comes. What is the timing here? Will the two brothers overlap, or will one be gone when the other arrives?
And my third part of the post is, if things work out this way, how many years ahead are we looking at a potential Hawaiian superstar playing QB? The reason I ask is that it has occurred to me that we may have between five and eight years ahead for Bama with this type talent at qb. At the end of that run, Saban will be in his early seventies...
I was talking to my brother-in-law about my theory...Saban may continue to amaze everybody and win and win, and then decide to go out a winner when the Hawaiian wave plays out.
My b-in-l often plays the devil's advocate. After hearing what I had to say, he reminded me we have another young qb we are also looking at...Paul Bryant's grandson. I believe ( and this a very uninformed guess) this grandson might even be eligible for a legacy scholly that wouldn't count against the team scholly limit, but that's a completely different topic.
To summarize a rambling post...(congrats if you've read this much)...
If we get lucky and get the maximum playing time out of the Tagovailoa duo, how many years is that?
Will Saban step down at that time, or will he keep on going?
Some speculation I've seen about Saban's retirement was that he wanted to put the national championship record out of reach for any other coach. Well, the table is set...

A glaring side issue...I avoided Tua's last name in the post because I wasn't sure how to spell it correctly...I finally took a stab, and auto-correct replaced my attempt with Travolta. :eek2:
