Nick Saban Retiring

[RyanCuse44]

Damn. I figured he would do at least 3-4 years.

 

[crales44]

Damn. End of an era.

 

[Cuse4455]

He's gonna come here and be a Quality control coach for Fran. He wants to go out a winner.

Coaching changes, players transferring as a result, let's keep our eyes peeled for potential adds.

 

[UpstateSM]

I've turned into a big Saban fan. Happy I got to experience the run at Bama. We will never see anything like it again.

 

[USMCSnyper]

Who wants to follow that act? Damn.

 

[Frozen]

Names for his successor include:

Dabo Swinney
Urban Meyer
Fran Brown

Who wants to follow that act? Damn.

Agreed. And I know that Alabama is Alabama but it’s a pain in the ass to take over any team in the middle of January.

 

[CuseMan4]

Wow

 

[OrangeFreek]

Can we have Betrand now??????? PLEASE!!??!!?!?!?

 

[Frozen]

Why Franklin or Freeman?

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Can we have Betrand now??????? PLEASE!!??!!?!?!?

No.

 

[orangenauburn]

There is going to be a lot of movement

 

[UpstateSM]

This is so good

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Saban to Gameday, and Corso retires?

 

[RyanCuse44]

Names for his successor include:

Dabo Swinney
Urban Meyer
Fran Brown

Dan Lanning gotta be at the top of the list.

I know a lot of people hate Saban, but I've never personally had a problem with him.

He's unquestionably the GOAT of CFB coaches, IMO.

Here’s a nice moment of him consoling an Arkansas player who recently lost his father.

 

[wiseman3]

Go get those recruits Fran!

 

[Eric15]

Saban to Gameday, and Corso retires?

God I hope not. While he's a savant at his craft, he has zero charisma as a public speaker. Similar to Tiger Woods.

 

[Ernj]

How about someone like Ray Perkins?

 

[steve deberg]

There is going to be a lot of movement

Yeah with players getting a “free transfer” when a coach leaves, and time running out for players to enroll at schools for the Spring semester, I bet we see some potent portalling post haste.

Lots of good players on that Bama roster from the DMV.

 

[djorange1989]

Dino to Bama?

 

[sutomcat]

I would think Smart would be their top choice. Buyout is probably prohibitive but maybe he has a special out if Bama comes calling?

Lots of talk on XM college football that Harbaugh is also going to leave, headed to the NFL.

Could be two huge late moves that result in a series of other moves.

Buckle up!

Who wants to follow that act? Damn.
