Right time to retire. He’s starting to lose his edge.

There is no denying his accomplishments in the college game. He’s going to be a very difficult act to follow. I wonder if there is an underlying health issue.

End of an era. Right up there with Bear’s Checkered Hat.

Now what happens to the Tide?

I have to say, as an Alabamian, at least I had one thing to be proud of, especially before I retired and was working around the country.

I’m from Tennessee, but I still love this joke...

Tennessee fan and Auburn fan sitting in a bar getting plastered...

Tennessee fan asked Auburn fan, “What’s that AUBURN mean on you sweatshirt??”

He answers, “Alabama Usually Beats Us Red Necks...”

Then Auburn fan asks, “What that UT on your shirt??”

Tennessee fan sadly replies, “Us Too”...

Expanding to 16 teams and realigning old rivalries. No more West and East divisions.

It will ruin the conference IMO.

Great coach, the greatest IMO.

But right time to leave.

An assistant at Ohio State said recruits were asking $5,000 (NIL money) to take an official visit. NCAA has set up the transfer portal with an unlimited number of transfers for a player.

Traditional college football is dead.

I noticed that Saban seemed much more tranquil this year, as if he knew it was his last rodeo.

Greatest coach of all time!

Alabama has had the fortune of having the two greatest coaches of all time — Nick Saban and Bear Bryant.

Roll Time Roll!!!

And now the bidding war between the networks to see who gets him as an analyst.
