Saban retired

[Huskers123456]

Greatest coach of all time. He built the greatest program in history and the greatest coaching tree. Sad to see him go as his reasons for leaving (NIL and the transfer portal) are ruining college football as a whole. The transfer portal can at least be brought back to a level of sanity.

Did he actually say that's why he retired?

I have always envied Bama fans for getting to keep Saban so long, after they reached the top. Imagine if TO had coached another decade.

There's a rumor circulating - on a few Alabama & SEC boards - that Terry Saban (Nick's wife) is really sick and he wants to spend time with her and family. This was not planned

That could be a factor for sure.

Also possibly the greatest DB coach of all time is what truly makes him great IMO.

Innovator of the matchup cover 3(rip/liz) as well, which was a colossal move forward for modern defense vs spread offenses.

Plus 5-star DB's all bought & paid for.

TO gets at least one more in 99. Even with better coaching the 01 miami team would probably still be unbeatable. 2000's TX and OK would be hard to contend with but TO would have us in contention.

Hope this isn't the case but if it is true I totally understand

I think they’ll go after Lanning and/or Deboer but probably have to “settle” for Kiffin or Dabo. Oregon can match whatever Alabama offers, UW probably can too, you’re anlready in the B1G and these coaches are beloved at their respective schools. Go to Bama and they’ll be calling for your head as soon as you lose 2 games.

My money is on Kiffin…

Could this be the job that pulls Urban Meyer back into coaching? Probably not…

I am 100% certain he is done with coaching. Plenty of cash and enjoys a more relaxed lifestyle. Nothing left to prove.

Gumps won’t admit it, but everyone can smell the stench of fear emanating from the state of Alabama. Already got turned down by their 1st choice…
