The man will forever be the standard of the greatest sport in the world. He set a standard that will never be matched. He might not have gone out the way we all expected but he will be forever remembered.
I don't care where your school loyalty lies, this is some of the best content out here, period.
Love the show Cubes. Im a bama fan, but no one talks sec football as deeply as you do and never show bias or love to any program. All programs get equal coverage from you
Good stuff, Cole. Agree w/all you said: - he ran fball program top to bottom. Next coach won't have those keys - lane is great - wrong temperament for T-Town - Dabo - playing like portal doesn't exist - I'm not sure he would ever have been a real candidate, but portal philosophy is a disqualifier.
He is and always will be the goat! Enjoy your well deserved rest coach RTR 🐘
Great insight, Cole! He's just the GOAT and I'm so thankful he was our coach. Roll Tide!
Definitely my favorite Tide show. Wonderful job, Sir!
Amazing.
You’re also great at what you do Cole war eagle sir
Cole, thank you for this very insightful commentary on coach Saban's retirement, and I'm the biggest Gump ever, grew up with LeRoy Jordan and Pat Trammel. You represent your alma mater very well, i.e. very professional and unbiased imo in your public coverage of SEC football.
Saban Stadium has a nice ring to it.
that double agent story got me pretty good lol

Great video. Listening to you speak, I wonder if this process might drag out longer than CT people will like. However, I completely agree with you that they have to get it right. Too much at stake for that program. I feel kind of strongly that they need to hire an insider like Georgia did with Kirby Smart. It might require some setup inside the athletics department, but DeMarco Ryans is out there. Even if he said no, already, I still think he could end up there.
Easy. Saban gets a TV contract to be an in-studio analyst for college football.
With Dabo not wanting to take advantage of the transfer portal I don’t think they want him at Alabama.
I agree with college football taking a massive hit but the man isn’t dying or dead. You still can have conversations with him. He will still give advice and interviews and be seen on ESPN. He will be on ESPN and sign a massive deal. Just wait
To me, the new house in Florida wasn’t going to sit there for long without him and Miss Terry.
😮😮 Nick Saban is not going away look for him to go to ESPN TV for 150million dollars for the next (8) EIGHT years.😮😮
Go after Dan Lanning from Oregon
Definitely
👍👍👍
What do you think about Glenn Schuman as a candidate?

Yea I think he's a good coach that's being overlooked.
great content, I think it does the opposite on elevating the brand. Look what happened to the program before Saban. No one wants that hot potato
He 👀 where college football is going. It is on the down side. NIL, Trans portal
Demeco Ryans

😮😮 who would want to follow Saban at Bama..bigger question is who replaces the guy that follows Saban.? 😮😮 80% of Bama fans are going to HATE whoever gets hired to replace Saban and 10-2 or 9-3 or 8-4 are not going to go over well at Bama. 😮😮 But the guy that follows the guy that replaces Saban is a much better position to be in whoever he is good luck. 😮😮

I fully understand the dynasty is over and that Alabama is about to be awful. You can’t replace the GOAT… but you have to anyway.
Cole, why isn't Dabo at or near the top of your list? Experience, Titles and an alum. Would also be able to keep the power brokers at an arm's length. The guy would crawl over broken glass from Clemson to Tuscaloosa. What more could Alabama want?

Because dabo has been unwilling to change. He refused to use the transfer portal and nil. Just check Clemson fans message boards. In today's game u can't do that and win. There targeting Dan lanning

@@ARMY-ep6fz Interesting. I believe Dabo, regardless if he's at Clemson or Alabama, would have to adapt to NIL and the transfer portal. The guy is a winner and would be loyal till he retires. IMO, he would be a slam dunk hire.

@rscotta831 sabans willingness to adapt has been what kept him at the top. Dabos unwillingness to do so is why he wasn't able to stay at the top.

No..he’s retiring
You left out that Alabama had the most ex players on an NFL roster in the history of the NFL this season.
He Gone!
Lane kiffin named as next Alabama coach
Marcus Freeman
You ever wonder if Saban was prepping Coach Prime for the job during those Aflac commercials? 😆
At a certain point the numbers just sound like jibberish
I personally prefer Kiffin but everyone is fooling themselves if they don’t think Dabo is most deserving.
Boo hoo
