Nick Saban Retiring - CONFIRMED

[VFL-82-JP]

1. Really thought Nick would hold on three more years in an attempt to pass Bryant's all time wins (Bryant was 323 wins lifetime, 232 at Bama ... Saban sits at 292 wins lifetime, 201 at Bama). Perhaps he realized he just doesn't have three more seasons in him, or family matters took precedence.

2. Saban doesn't have the highest winning percentage in college football history, at .803, that record is for fellas like Larry Kehres at Mount Union (an incredible .929), or staying in the FBS, Knute Rockne at Notre Dame (.881). But Saban's 7 national titles are a record. Giving him at least one angle on a claim to be the greatest college coach of all time.

3. Glad that midget dwarf bastard's gone.

4. Heh.

5. Still, hat's off to the man. Helluva coach. Great accomplishments. Just wish he'd done it anywhere else in the country other than Bama.

Go Vols!

Who is she.

 

[rocketskates]

Didn't Kiffin just sign a long term contract at Old Piss ?

Most likely. My dream is that they hire a bust so they have to wander in the wilderness for a few years. Bring back Shula.

 

[LWSVOL]

I may actually turn it on to hear the meltdown from fans.

they won't be on today. Paul getting ever media person around to talk about... tomorrow will be golden..

 

[iuvol]

SEC refs - Mandatory Teams meeting at 8 am tomorrow. New rules forthcoming!

Saban retiring to help write the new rules or to counsel with players who are afraid after they lose and have a strong urge to smack a woman.

 

[Volbrando]

How about Schiano? lol

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Pete Carroll too. While he is older than Saban, he's in great shape and loved coaching in college. He probably won't want to fack with portal BS

Pete Carroll would be great. At least you could respect Saban. Carroll is the complete douchenozzle package. He would elevate Gump hate to a whole new level

 

[tennrich1]

A little surprised. The NIL prob drove the car over the cliff. Dan Lanning prob on deck. Bama will still be really good either way. BUT....whoever takes over ....will prob be in the "well Coach Saban would NEVER have done that. He would have won that game yada yada yada"....I've seen all kinds of replacements of legend (football, baseball, basketball, pastors, CEO etc) and almost never does it end well. This could be a first IDK....

 

[Hubbard]

Gruden?

I heard he has a place on Smith Lake.

 

[Deebowbear]

So seriously...who they hiring? I'd think they could get just about anyone they wanted right?

Texas coach

Here’s my thoughts on potential coaches:
Vrabel
Sark
Dabo
Franklin
And I think Heupel definitely gets a call
Promotion from within

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

You think we're happy, imagine how easy it is to get laid in Auburn right now.

 

[Truth is honor]

Line forms to the left but will they select RIGHT?

Probably only 4 names on the list. Dabo,Lanning, Day and Lane

 

[vols 30]

CFB is changing in a bad way. He knows it & stated he does like NIL and the transfer portal, plus the SEC starts a new chapter next season. Time to get out!!!

I don't blame him. It sure ain't what it used to be

 

[volinbham]

could go after his look-a-like and not have to invest in new coach wear

 

[hog88]

Not ruling it out, but I doubt it. Hasn't proven anything yet. Urban Meyer is more likely than Deion

The pressure at FL and OHstate was too much for Meyer, he'd die on the sidelines at Bama.

 

[90 Vol]

Saban is the goat, no question. But NIL leveled the playing field when it came to paying players. He took advantage of the time he was in and when the times changed and he didn’t want to change, he decided to hang it up. He was smart to get out when he did, ending with a playoff run.

If his level of success was due to chronic cheating and he got out because the playing field got leveled, is he really the GOAT? Food for thought.

Probably only 4 names on the list. Dabo,Lanning, Day and Lane

No chance they go for Day.

Stop it. They will not hire Josh. Just stop.

 

[Volfan1000]

Jim Harbaugh is probably going to be the front runner to replace Saban and now Tennessee can try to poach recruits from Alabama.

Best wishes to Saban in retirement.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Stop it. They will not hire Josh. Just stop.

I didn’t say hire, but he gets a call.

 

[Boston_Vol]

Bama needs to call this man asap to return it to its late 1990s to early 2000s glory

Yep! Apparently they think just like according to Butch.

 

[nickp91]

pete caroll and nick saban retiring from coaching in the same day is wild

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

I didn’t say hire, but he gets a call.

Absolutely won't. Stop
