Nick Saban Retiring? It's Official .. the Goat is gone

[DrollTide]

He's given us one heck of a ride. He owes nothing. Go enjoy the lake, coach.

 

[JPaikman]

Thank you Coach. No matter what, you represented the university and all of college football well.

 

[ShoalsFan]

Thanks for a great run, Coach!

Hopefully the successor is in place, and we keep our guys.

Maybe we can hire Sark...

This makes me sick. Thank you Coach and Ms Terry for all your contributions to the University. May God bless you all and RTR

Oklahoma City sports radio just blew up. Wow. I was looking forward to seeing him in Norman next season.

 

[Titans&Tide]

What a career. What a run. God bless you, Coach! Thank you for everything!

Well, now we have to rejoin the rabble. It was good to be the king, while it lasted.

 

[Crimson1967]

I honestly thought he’d stay a few more years.

 

[Zorak]

Hell of a ride. Thanks for the memories, coach. Enjoy a long and healthy retirement. You’ve earned it.

 

[BamaFossil]

I got nothing but gratitude for all that Saban brought to Alabama!! Best wishes to Saban for an enjoyable retirement!

So he had to share a national title with Pete Carroll and now has to share his last day, too....one is the GOAT and the other is a joke.

 

[64met]

We all knew this day would come. I guess, i'm surprised, but CNS owes us nothing. Who is early favorite to replace? Thank you, Coach

 

[92tide]

He just informed the team

damn, i bet that was a heart breaking meeting

 

[Cruloc]

Enjoy the lake coach. Thanks for memories.

 

[Bama Lee]

Depends on the successor

And how soon he gets hired

 

[tmv85]

While I can’t blame him, I hate this! I hope we don’t have a long, drawn out coaching search. Don’t get me wrong…I hope we go for and get the absolute best man for the job, but I hope something has been in the works behind the scenes.

Thank you for everything you have done for not only the University of Alabama, but Tuscaloosa as well. Go enjoy watching the ducks, and ROLL TIDE!!

 

[AlexanderFan]

Thank you Coach. Go be with your family, you’ve earned it.

He just sat and watch his friend Bill Belichick suffer through the scrutiny of a team “bottoming out”. Saban said he never wanted to out stay his success.

There is never a good way or a good time retire as the coach at Bama. Now we will see how prepared our AD is.
