His university paid players to come from other states to sign before the NIL was instituted. Gave their parents jobs, etc. Nobody is investigating bc every school does it, he just did it better.

Texas fan here, Nick Saban is undoubtedly the best to ever do it. Not just on the field, but the efforts he put into his players OFF the field development. Have a great retiirement, Coach. You have earned, and your legacy remains the GOAT!!

I'm happy for him. He can relax and enjoy life.

As a Gator fan, hands down the best coach of all time, PERIOD. He is the standard for any college football program looking for an HC. There will never be another Nick Saban. Thank you Coach

Nick Saban is going to make a great new Head Coach for the "Florida Gators" after UF fires Billy Napier at the end of the 2024 Season. Nick's retirement will last for only one College Football Season (2024.) I boldly predict that Coach Saban will be back on the sidelines down in Gainesville, Florida by the start of the 2025 College Football Season.

As a Tennessee fan, I'm grateful for what Coach Saban has done for football and the SEC! I'm really sorry that Tennessee was going thru such a difficult time during most of Coach Saban's tenure. The Alabama/Tennessee game has historically been a barn burner, and the 2022 game was one of the best games ever, and either team could have won. The 2023 game was a little different! Good luck Coach!

I can't wait until Coach Saban is back in action and on the sidelines down in Gainesville, Florida for the 2025 College Football Season along with watching the Gators kick the Vols A$$es like they did under Urban Meyer. Billy Napier will be fired by UF at the end of the 2024 Season for another losing season. "Sunbelt Billy" Napier does not have what it takes to turn the Gators around.

The fact that Saban coached 17 years and won the way he did is mind boggling… The guy was a machine at Alabama, even in his 70s.

I’m a Michigan fan but I’ll really miss Coach Saban in the college football world. What an incredible ball coach. Congrats Coach and enjoy your time with the family

When you know you know. You're a great coach and leader of young men.

The best ever, no doubt. We all witnessed history with what he did at Bama.

Thank you for all your hard work, coach Saban. You will be missed. Roll tide! 🐘

A great, great coach. College football will miss him terribly. He has done do much for the game. Thank you, Nick Saban!

Its hard to be completely honest, especially with yourself. Respect.

He had a Bob Stoops moment sure Bob could of kept coaching but the mental strains as you get older even if there is no health issue at that time can contribute to high stress levels , both were class acts and great coaches and college football is forever impacted by them let them enjoy retirement they earned it

In my view Nick Saban will go down as the greatest college football coach of all time. But few people know how much he did for his community and for poor people after that devastating tornado a few years back. Coach, God’s blessings for you and your family. Have a great retirement!👍

he retired because the landscape of college football is changing. the NIL deals, transfer portal, super conferences, and expanded playoffs. the grandfather coaches (Paterno, Bowden, and Snyder) all they had to do was finish the regular season, win the conference championship, and an additional bowl game. all 3 of those coaches had a serve decline in their 70s. like Johnny Carson said it’s better to go out on top and that’s what Saban is doing.

The best college football coach of all time. Absolute legend 👏

He has the perfect voice for doing commentary

There's nothing else he can accomplish being a coach. Enjoy the rest of your life Coach! A job well done. You really don't need to give people an explanation. Your consistent excellence has spoken for you. Thank you for the interview though. 👏🏾

Godbless Nick and Terry.We will miss you and never forget you.Roll Tide Forever

Mr. Saban you are the man, Great college sports coach! A true Goat as they say! Congratulations on your success and retirement!

I'm a die hard Auburn fan, but Nick Saban is by far the best college coach both in his integrity and commitment. Some may say that Bear Bryant was the greatest coach, but there were some shady things he did...for example, he would have upwards of 150 players on his team, not that they would ever play, but that they would never play for other teams. Saban on the other hand has consistently won with far more rules and restrictions.

As am Alum from anther SEC School I can say this: Nick Saban has been nothing but class whether he won or lost. College football was better off with him and will be worse off without him.

GOAT

NIL and portal, plus he wanted to go out on top. You will be missed Coach Saban!

I believe in 25 years, we will look back with disbelief at what Saban and Belicheck did during their times in college and pro football, respectively. Parity among teams is increasing every year. Good lord, even the Detroit Lions are in the playoffs.

Great man.

Legendary ball coach. Legendary segment.

From A-Z this is a once in a lifetime man. His social skills, coaching skills, the way he handles himself, his community outreach, the way he cares for this town and this organization even after retirement, the way he’s thinking about them in retirement and supporting this place and the new staff, the type of husband and father he is, his wife is also all of these things, he’s a class act and everyone in life can learn from him in any and everything we do.

Great Coach* great inspiration, he will make impacts in college foot ball for very long time* Great job Coach Saban* Roll Tide*.

I think given his age and the new NIL initiative it is going to make recruiting and retaining great players much, much harder. Plus, always being expected to be in the national playoffs has to be a heavy weight on any coach and so little needs to go wrong to blow all that up. You also can't count on your key players to be around for 4 years, and if they intend to go into the NFL draft, even playing in the upcoming bowl game doubtful, which makes the potential for winning even harder.

He accomplished everything, nothing left to prove.

That one tie will always haunt him......he could have 293 wins. That will follow him around like a Scarlett Letter.

Class. This Tennessee Vol fan wishes him well.

As a Dawgs and Michigan fan you will be missed..... thank you for all the years of ups and down it was a blast to have you as an opponent! GO DAWGS GO BLUE

The first thing I think about when it comes to college football is Nick Sabin and Alabama! How long has the transfer portal been around and does it seem like to you guys that more and more college football players are using the portal than in previous years?

I wouldnt wanna be the coach to replace saban just saying

I think it might have to do with the fact that now players are allowed to be paid now making the competition more fair in terms of attracting talent

Classact all the around congratulations and enjoy retirement coach from a duck fan

GOT TO SAY COACH IS THE BEST COACH OF OF ERRA MAJOR LUV FOR COACH SABAN.......COOL GUY MET HIM AN HE REALLY WIN YOU OVER BECAUSE HE IS SO COOL AN LAYED BACK SUPER THUFF

The 🐐 of college football,👍🏿😎

Nick Saban was a great football coach and a true leader of men, that much is indisputable. But his secret to success was not that he out coached his competition. It was that he had a roster with more talent and depth than almost every team he played. Since 2008 Alabama routinely had multiple 4-5 stars at each position, 3 rotations deep waiting to play. Alabama simply had better players and would wear their opponent out. How Saban could consistently recruit at that level for 15 years is remarkable. Kirby learned his secret and applied it at GA. With NIL and the transfer portal, Saban could no longer assemble and maintain that kind of roster and he knew his unprecedented dominance was ending. In the NFL no team out recruits their competition and Saban was 15-17.

With total respect....FINALLY!! THANK THE GODS !
