Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 4930916, member: 363"] A good coach? Guys like Luke Fickell are good coaches. Come on. Saban is best coach in college football probably ever. What was Alabama doing on the recruiting front prior to Saban getting there? He's won 7 national championships. Crazy talk here he isn't the first, won't be the last coach who retired in their early 70's. He has had enough. Sure the portal and NIL stuff are not well liked by many of the older coaches but Saban seems to have adjusted to it. He was in the final four this year. Nobody said he has won without great talent but where are the 7-5 seasons that show he can't adjust etc. Just think he's had enough, it's not easy NEVER letting your foot off the gas pedal for 16-17 years straight it has a price and takes it's toll and Saban is only going to do things one way and won't run out there like a corpse well after his prime or mail it in, like many older legendary coaches have [/QUOTE]
