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

“winning 80.6% of his games and seven national titles”

Well done Nick.

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.

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.

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.

OMG!

Seventeen years and an incredible record!

I remember when the alum almost vetoed his $4 million first-year price tag in 2007.

Nothing lasts forever.

Well done, coach.

Take a note from Tuberville, who is a former Auburn coach and now a star in the Senate. Kick it up a notch and toss your hat in the ring for Pres! :-). You would sure get my vote and would stand head and shoulders above the current crop of losers.

Nick Satan bought a beach house in Florida and will retire in peace.

He had a good run and was headed downhill fast.

not a Nick Saban fan but a lot of traditional good coaches will be leaving...this new espn deal and the nil has destroyed college sports and makes it impossible to develop a team....

you can't count on the Jimmy and the Joes to stick around after one year....and you're constantly having to put up with arrogant players because they're getting paid big big bucks....

Ambivalent about him not telling the incoming recruits. Now his final act was to decieve the kids who came to play for him.

I remember when he first came to Alabama - the guys on the floor where I worked were ecstatic - so much so that I said to one of them that was a preacher “I hear Jesus was going to come back today”. “Really?” “Yep but then He heard Nick Saban was already here so He didn’t have a reason to show up”.
