Nick Saban retiring

[navamind]

He's fine.....more important a really good blocker. also might go to guard where they don't snap.

As long as they keep him from snapping he should be a good pickup.

Saban's retirement is a shocker as there were no indications that he was ready to end his coaching career so soon. His departure opens up the most coveted coaching job in college football and Alabama will be able to pick from nearly any viable candidate that it wants.

Report: Alabama coach Nick Saban retires after 17 seasons with Crimson Tide

Nick Saban is calling it a career.

Just effing WOW!!!!

Thanks for making BAMA the beast of college football. Heckuva fantastic run for the GOAT.

And yes. I was there for the Bryant run also. Bear didn't have to deal with parity nil and transfer portal.


BTW. I think the shine is off of dabo. So, now it's wait and see.

Hard to compare

Bryant did it without NIL money and transfers

Saban did it without the ‘60’s feelings on race in the south

I remember Bryant on the sidelines with that hat, and if you were lucky, Keith Jackson was the commentator.

One of the first football games my uncle took me to was the Bama/Georgia game in Sept of 1965

Still see him in the sidelines with that houndstooth hat

Good day to be DABO SWINNEY

1) He becomes the next head coach of Alabama with a big contract.

or

2) Clemson backs up the Brinks truck with a new contract to stay as the HC of Clemson, and not even try to get the Bama job.

So, who was better, Saban or Bryant?

Bryant

could he pull off the "we didn't want to be there" like Saban? I kid.....I kid.

any assistants you think could step in as not exactly the best time to lure guys away I wouldn't think.

 

[OUGuy1999]

You misspelled winners

yea he did that too, but whined a lot while doing it

 

[fknhippie]

Could always start Pete Carroll rumors.

 

[bamagrad75]

Okay all those complaining he dominated and nobody could get ahead....it's put up or shut up time.
