Sabin will no doubt bow out gracefully. He stayed one year past his prime time (like Rick Patino at Ky basketball). But Nick has proven at Ohio State as a great asst and recruiter, Michigan State, LSU, and then Alabama. Even worked for the Browns briefly. He has validated himself time and time again as a great one, but hard to ever erase the memory of The Bear.

Saban is far from dead. Saban led the LSU Tigers to the BCS National Championship in 2003 and the Alabama Crimson Tide to BCS and AP national championships in 2009, 2011, 2012, and College Football Playoff championships in 2015, 2017 and 2020. He has won seven national titles as a head coach, the most in college football history.

On June 7, 2021, Saban agreed to a contract extension with Alabama. The deal runs through the 2028 season. In his 16th season, Alabama started the season #1 in the preseason AP and Coaches poll, marking the 15th consecutive season the Tide have been ranked at the top. It’s the seventh time Alabama has started the season No. 1 under Saban. He has been in 9 National title game appearances in 13 years.

Saban is the greatest college football coach in history. The GOAT. The statistics prove it.

I wouldn't vote against him in making the final four this season.
