They always bristle at the “little brother” moniker. Yet…..
As I tell my kids (Auburn grads along with their spouses) “If you don’t want to be called “little brother” don’t act like one”.

Well, that was a riveting ride! Thanks Coach! As for us now, prepare for the decline. It ain't gonna be fun.
I hope the University does something in terms of a retirement ceremony where fans get a chance to come out and show their appreciation for all he has done. I know it goes the nature of CNS but to hell with that…give it to him whether he wants it or not. 
I enjoyed every year of his run. We will miss him but he deserves it. We witnessed greatness over the last 17 years.
I was in the middle of one and my phone just started absolutely blowing up. I thought maybe somebody had died.
When you're worth half a billion dollars, 17 million isn't much.
I aint so sure the decline will be as drastic as some think................sure it will take some time to get it going but I think Bama will be fine
Not much class down there
I am usually the optimistic one around here but I just don't see it keeter. We done for a while so go ahead and adjust to the cirmcumstance.
I started grad school in Tuscaloosa in 2007. He has been my head football coach the entire time since.
I am sad, appreciative, melancholy, proud in equal measure. Thanks, Coach.
"He was a man, take him for all in all, / I shall not look on his like again."

I was a junior in HS when we fired Mike Shula and hired Saban. I didn’t know much about the guy except he had coached at LSU and done well and was coaching in the NFL. I had just gotten a Nokia box phone that I had to share with my sister for emergencies, and had to drive her around to school and afterschool practice. That’s when I joined this board, because I was super curious who this Nick Saban guy was.
This doesn’t feel real, and suddenly I feel mortal and old. I need to go look at old pictures and have a drink.

I'm taking a wait and see approach,..............to paraphrase a line from The Hunt for Red October, "Saban doesn't take a dump without a plan"...............and I bet part of that was talking to the recruits
Throughout all the speculation I was sure they were crazy. I guess I was wrong.
I hope he enjoys his retirement to the fullest!
What I do know is I am stunned.

His first name is Mike. Instant disqualification. Plus he’s a whiny loser.
Dude, Nick is the program. Without him we are back to the middle of the pack, or lower. Been fun but we are done for a while.
