Anyone else see or listen to Saban on the Mannings’ multi-screencast on MNF? Just casually mentions that there are 73 current Bama players on NFL rosters.
My goodness, does that guy have it made, or does he have it absolutely made?? Make no mistake about it, college football has turned into a massive competition between ESPN vs FOX just as much as it is about the actual football games and players. With the NIL and transfer portal conditions, Saban’s empire is such that he gets opportunities like this to be a commentator for NFL fans, pull in college football fans as well as to not even have to leave his house to recruit prospects who are watching in their living rooms!
He looks and sounds great for being 70 years old…he won’t ever retire (or until he can’t walk). I think the only college coaches with the smarts and recruiting prowess that have the capability of beating him are Dabo Swinney and Urban Meyer. His former assistants can’t even beat him. You can pretty much book it that Alabama isn’t going to drop out of the AP Top 10 for at least another 10 years and probably win about 6-ish National Titles this decade.
Damn.
