Yeah it’s pretty much confirmed. Low reporting it makes it near fact.

I am sick to my stomach. Truly he was the GOAT, and always will be.

If this happened without his and Byrne’s having his successor lined up, I’m beyond disappointed…

In shock but so glad I got to witness and be apart of the greatest coach to ever do it! Roll Tide forever Coach Saban!

Depends on the successor

Why? There is more to life than football which is what Saban wants to go enjoy.

Incredible run coach.

Thanks for everything.

Let the hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth begin.

Well Greg Byrne, ball is in your court. Hope you had a short list in the top drawer of your desk

I didn’t think today would be the day. Having to replace a DC at the same time isn’t good. Still, I can’t thank Coach Saban enough, although I’m shocked he’s not retiring on top.
