Massive respect to Coach Saban. He brought my LSU Tigers their first national championship in my lifetime. I will never be a Saban hater. #MattBeProudYouHadHim
58, 03, 07, and 2019 but I am also fan of LSU and I remember when he won the national championship that year I thought the sky was the limit for him and LSU
Matt, he is 72 years old. Those 15-hour days wear you down. NIL, the portal, and everything else has changed football for better or worse. It isn't getting any easier. And what does he have left to prove? As a Tennessee fan, I have nothing but respect for Coach Saban. Never be another one like him. But I figured him buying the home in Jupiter Fla was a damned good clue he was close to hanging up his spurs. Like all of us, he has a family, and I'm sure he would like to spend some time with them. I promise that when you get older, you will understand fully. Bama has had a list of hires to replace him for a while. Stop fretting. Congrats to coach Saban and enjoy every minute of your retirement, sir.
As a Michigan fan I can say this. Nick Saban is what other coaches aspire to be... A winner on and off the Field!!! Good luck on your retirement enjoy it!!!!
Most Michigan fans have respect for great coaches, and saban was a great coach. Six National championships, is awesome. I was in shock, and am still in shock since this news came out. Coach Carroll parted ways, and now coach saban. Hmmmm
Holy crap. As a UGA dawg fan, I hate this. We're headed to Tuscaloosa next year, and the thrill is gone for me now. Absolute shock to see him bow out while he's still young and vigorous, but he doesn't owe anybody an explanation; he's given college football (and its fans) more than anyone else. Class act, beginning to end.
I feel like I've been punched in the gut!!! Don't know whether to cry or throw up!!! I remember during the Shula days, I would pray for just 1 national title in my life, and Coach Saban gave us 6!!! Gonna miss Coach, but he deserves to chill and enjoy his millions!!! I know he won't see this, but from the bottom of my heart, I just wanna say thank you for everything you've done for the University of Alabama!!! Much Love Coach!!!
I’m not a Bama fan, but I am a huge fan of Saban. I have nothing but respect for him. He’s a legendary coach, and is easily the best to ever do it. I know you’re freaking out, Matt, but surely he deserves to bow out in the way he wants. He probably wants to spend time with his family! It’s a huge loss for college sports, because he was a class act! I started wondering about Saban’s future when he started appearing regularly on the Pat Mcafee show. I just had this feeling he might be thinking of retirement. Still, I was shocked by the news!
Nick Saban is shining example of what a college football coach should be. For me as a Michigan fan it was an honor and a privilege to have played against Nick Saban and his Alabama Crimson Tide in what was his final game. A Rose Bowl to remember for sure.
As a Georgia fan, I know we talk a lot of smack on each other but, Coach Saban always had this Dawg’s respect. He really is the GOAT & when we won the Natty against him it was so sweet because we beat the BEST! Wishing him much luck & some R&R in retirement. It’s well deserved… ❤️🖤
Man, I agree with basically everything you said in this video. I’m a teenager, and I’ve been a bama fan my whole life. So the Saban era is all I’ve known. Like you said, it still hasn’t hit me yet. We’ll make it through this. RTR 🐘
First, let me say, great job on the videos. As an OU fan I was blindsided a couple of years ago and feel your pain somewhat. With the massive changes in the college football landscape (portals, NIL, realignment, etc.) maybe he felt he couldn’t deal with the changes or didn’t want to deal with them.
As an OU fan as well, I completely believe he DIDN'T want to deal with it. He would never have a team like he did even just a few years ago based on the money alone. He has money, family, and doesn't need the stress. Although, I will say our against them next season won't be quite as sweet.
Truly the goat. I loved him while he coached at lsu and although I hated that he went to bama I realized the impact he made on the game. Absolute legend.
As a Texas longhorn fan I just want to say Matt truly on how good of a head coach, Nick Saban was and how much he impacted the Alabama program. Much love to you Matt and the Alabama fan base. Long live coach Saban‘s legacy!!! #mattbamawillbounceback
I feel ya Matt, this is so tough. Words can’t describe what that man has meant to me. I was born in 01, and seeing that man dominate my entire life has been extraordinary…I’m speechless
He's not dying. He's retiring. He doesn't have anything else to prove. Let him retire & enjoy his family. Thanks for everything Mr Saban. It's been a great ride.
Kiffin has been dropping hints for months. Lane really wants to come to Bama. We may never know the real reason behind this but I do know Mr. and Mrs. GOAT will be missed.
As an Ohio State fan, I felt your pain when Jim Trissel parted ways with osu, I thought the osu program was over, we would never see greatness again, and then we got Urban Meyer. When god shuts a door he opens a window. It’s not as bad as your thinking right now. The tide will roll again!
This is not like that because no coach that they hire will be able to even get near the level that Nick Saban was at. The coach that would be able to get near that level is Kirby Smart and he isnt gonna leave Georgia.
I've been watching your channel for a while. Love it man. I will say I'm a Tennessee fan born and raised. But I enjoyed the challenge of playing Nick Saban to see where we stood. Going to miss him on the sidelines #thegoat
UGA fan here, dang Matt and the games were just starting to get good because we were playing more often for championship opportunities, and now with more regular season games on the horizon. He's unquestionably the GOAT and I'll miss him. Much RESPECT!
Vol Fan here. We both hate each other's teams, but without a doubt, Saban is the best-ever college coach in college football history. In my lifetime, I do not think we will ever see another one like him.
With all do respect if this is true I wish saban a healthy life and hope he enjoys the rest of his life he will be missed by everyone who cared about college football because there was always two camps when it came to saban you either loved him or you despised him because he was always winning or your team could never beat him. But I wish him the best of luck on his future endeavor
As a UGA and college football fan this is a sad day for us all.. Salute to the Goat He will become the Next Lee Carso and still entertain us all Go Damn Dawgs !!!!!!!
I'm a Bama fan, but I love Kirby. I really think he's going to take over for Saban as the best coach in college football in the future...if college fball isn't destroyed by the portal. Thank you for you respectful comment and I hope you can enjoy, cherish, and respect the run your Bulldogs are about to go on. I always told myself to enjoy Saban as much as possible because I knew the day would eventually come. I remember Bama being 4-9 and 3-8 in the early 2000s. It seems like soooo long ago, but then it also seems like last year.
As someone who has rooted against Alabama every game they played since 2009 i feel for you guys. I am still shocked and just cant help feeling sad about it. Someone’s who’s been such a part of college football since I’ve become a huge fan he and Alabama provided that villain that sports needs. What they did for that part of sports was special and something we will never see again. It’s fitting that with the end of the BCS/4 team playoff era comes to an end felt like an era of college football is over. This put the nail in the coffin in it
LSU fan here. LETS GEAUX TIGERS!!! ive been waiting on this shit since Julio committed to Bama! I can’t wait to see the pain & anguish you guys are about to go through! all jokes aside? we’ve had some great battles over the years… i look forward to many more to come! I won’t believe it until next season starts with a new coach standing on Bama sideline…
YES! Go live later. I live 5 miles from Southern end zone of Bryant Denny stadium, word is he told the team at practice today. I’ve been a Bama fan since I was born. First heard this and couldn’t feel my face. This sucks. Just got out of shocked stage and now I’m sobbing. I agree ~ need a “last season” while we are aware that he is leaving. Saban has officially stolen Michigan’s thunder LOL
The man is 72 years old. He deserves to be able to live life without the immense stress of college football. It's sad for bama fans, and fans of college football, but I mean hes been coaching all of his life. I'd imagine I'd want to call it quits at some point too if I'd been working that hard for so long.
I feel your pain… the same pain I felt when The Bear retired and passed away two weeks later! We had two great goats at Alabama! Good luck coach Saban! Thank you!
He’s 72 years old and probably wants to enjoy spending time with his family. He’s not getting any younger, he’s already proven himself over the decades. He’s earned the right to do whatever he wants.
Urban couldnt handle the pressure when Florida was the only good team in the East or in the Big10 when UM stopped sucking. He could never handle, from a health and nerves standpoint, the new SEC scheduling.
He’s 70 something! M Let him have a life outside of the daily grind of being a college FB coach. Give him thanks and breathing room to find a life outside of this grind
Gonna be bad again 😂 can’t wait tired of hearing about what a great coach nick is. He bought best players for a decade meanwhile teams like usc get the book thrown at them. Then when nil leveled playing field dude stank 😂😂😂😂 0-3
@@Benvyious lol just keep letting your anger and frustration out and whatever you need to say to yourself to justify Saban not being one of the greatest coaches ever buddy. Im not offended however . I'd be the same way tbh if I had to watch another team win championships constantly while my school didn't. I can give you many many reasons on why he's possibly the greatest coach ever, but I don't have enough space and you will argue either way bc you're sick of Bama winning constantly and a Bama hater. One main aspect that shows how amazing Saban was, is how he could keep winning EVERY season, in the toughest division in college football, with his coaches leaving every year. Many coaches fail when this happens. Look how Dabo fell apart the year his defense and offense coordinators left. There's not enough room to write the great traits of Saban. Also look at the next possible best coach in college currently in Kirby Smart... he learned under Saban, and look at what he's doing now. The Saban tree is all over college football so YOU really can't get away haha Roll Tide!!
My fisrt time commenting on your page. But when I heard this you were actually the first person I thought about . Feel for you my friend. Great content keep it up.
Saban saw the writing on the wall. With NIL, transfer portal and a 12 team playoff, he knew that Bama was about to be exposed. Plus, he's old. Not to mention Texas and Oklahoma is coming to the SEC. And he now has to play Georgia in the regular season. Got out while he was ahead.
As a big Michigan fan I’m honestly honored to have faced the goat one last time I can honestly say we hadn’t faced them idk if we be ready for the ship but facing him got us so ready I’m so grateful I wish him the best he should try the nfl one more time
Michigan fan here. Wow, I can't believe it. I don't even know what to think about college football without Nick Saban. But let me say this. Alabama was a great program with Nick Saban but he wasn't the only or even the primary cause of the success. There is a culture of greatness there that will persist. And I doubt that Saban would step away if he had any doubts about that. Best of luck next year, and wouldn't a championship tournament rematch between Bama and Michigan be great?
NIL has changed the game! When a powerhouse program like Bama has guys go in the portal after one season, something's amiss. Usually 4-5 star players go to Bama and know they're gonna sit at least one year. NIL, the portal and instant gratification...
Feeling your pain brother ! Was a rough road after Vince Dooley left UGA 🏈 BUT .... With the transfer portal, it should be less painful for Bamma Fans .✌️
As a Michigan fan this is truly a sad day for college football… Nick Saban elevated the competition like no one else and kept up with the evolving sport… legend.
Yeah, I remember when Bear Bryant retired. That was really tough, and this is equally as tough and you're correct, there aren't any other Nick Saban's out there. So, who knows what will happen now. sucks 😞
It’ll be ok buddy. Remember all the wonderful memories he provided ya & be thankful for his time there. He may want to enjoy his family before he’s too old. Either way….welcome back to the uncertainty nearly every other fan has for their school. Have a drink it’ll dull the pain.
Matt, how is this so shocking? There were definitely rumors this year of him retiring. Expecting him to coach until 2032 is a little ridiculous, it makes sense- he's 72 and doesn't like where cfb is headed. Saban is the goat and I hope he enjoys retirement!
Matt, he probably took a good, hard look at what's going on in college football with the portal, NIL and everything else and just looked in the mirror and asked his alter ego one question: Do I really want to keep doing this? I'm 72 years old, been in coaching for over 50 years, accomplished everything possible and just really want to go fishing. The man's the greatest coach we've seen in college and if he thinks it's time to go, well, I respect that. As a Georgia fan, it's been an honor to watch him work even though his Alabama teams have broken my heart more times than I care to remember. I wish him all the best. LEGEND!!!
I never thought the day would come, we will never see another Nick Saban, just like there won’t be another Tom Brady or MJ or Wayne Gretzky he’s just that legendary
With all do respect he has earned whatever life he wants at this point. He doesn't owe anybody anything and deserves the respect and consideration of his decision. He made his mark and will always be a legend and we should all be thankful we got to see it. I'm not a Bama fan but I respect the hell out of Saban and wish him all the best and hope he can make up as much time he has left for what he's sacrificed coaching.
I understand it. This is how us Patriots fans felt when Tom Brady left. He was most of our childhoods and I grew up watching him every weekend for my whole life basically. And now with Bill gone it it’s truly the end of an era, Saban was the Bill B of college, yes we were spoiled since our teams were good but we respect everything they did and I’m extremely grateful for them.
Now you know what other teams, recruits, transfers and fans have gone through. It's rough and it sucks, but you'll get past it. Keep your head up! Happy Retirement to Coach Saban!!!
Matt: As a Duck fan, even I’m shocked. It kinda reminds me the day Bear Bryant died. Takes the wind out of your sails. How old is Sabin anyways? God, I hope it has nothing to do with health reasons.
I know Alabama fans have been enjoying the Saben era and you are surprised at the suddenness of the announcement but the man is 72 years old. He probably wants to enjoy his golden years without the pressure of being the head coach of one of the most high-profile programs in college football.
It sort of makes sense. So many changes happening and Saban is not of this new era. With his age and his unrivaled legacy intact it makes sense to retire right as the CFP is expanding and there is massive conference realignment (not to mention NIL and portal insanity). In any event much respect to Saban. The real and true GOAT.
I hope he’s okay, health wise. This seems ridiculously sudden. I see it as Coach recognized how the landscape of college football is changing for the worst and wanted out while it still had some semblance of old school ball.
He bought a huge compound in Jupiter Island 🏝️ last April, 18 Million point lot paradise...it was widely reported, had to be under a rock not to see this coming.
22 million and he’s a old man. He deserves to live his life out in peace.
I love coach Saban I ve been a fan 64 years of bama I seem to think lane kiffin would rise to the occasion or Dabo swiney 😊
@@AmericasdummyI think dabo would be a bad fit in this era
Exactly he wants to do other things while he’s still in good health. If he stayed till 2030 he’d be 80. But Bama fans are spoiled silver spoon idiots
@@1Eashawty I think him changing to accept nil portal are 50 percent of the players now lanes did pretty good at ole miss
Folks don't realize how much stress winning has costed sabin. That man has aged horribly because of it. I'd have retired 10 yrs ago
Massive respect to Coach Saban. He brought my LSU Tigers their first national championship in my lifetime. I will never be a Saban hater. #MattBeProudYouHadHim
Haha was gonna do that 😂
LSU has won 4 total titles correct ? Once in like the 50s, Saban, Miles and Coach O…am I right ?
He said 1st Championship in his lifetime. Do people not read before they post stupid comments.
58, 03, 07, and 2019 but I am also fan of LSU and I remember when he won the national championship that year I thought the sky was the limit for him and LSU
He’s done with the NIL and transfer portal mess now
Matt, he is 72 years old. Those 15-hour days wear you down. NIL, the portal, and everything else has changed football for better or worse. It isn't getting any easier. And what does he have left to prove? As a Tennessee fan, I have nothing but respect for Coach Saban. Never be another one like him. But I figured him buying the home in Jupiter Fla was a damned good clue he was close to hanging up his spurs. Like all of us, he has a family, and I'm sure he would like to spend some time with them. I promise that when you get older, you will understand fully. Bama has had a list of hires to replace him for a while. Stop fretting. Congrats to coach Saban and enjoy every minute of your retirement, sir.
Saban wanted nothing to do with the NIL portal era and i don’t blame him. Its not real college football
👍👍
As a Michigan fan I can say this. Nick Saban is what other coaches aspire to be... A winner on and off the Field!!! Good luck on your retirement enjoy it!!!!
Good thing you aren’t one of those Michigan fans that say they “broke saban”
@@MurrayProdsYeah no one was going to break Saban..he would’ve used the loss to Michigan as fuel next year.
Most Michigan fans have respect for great coaches, and saban was a great coach. Six National championships, is awesome. I was in shock, and am still in shock since this news came out. Coach Carroll parted ways, and now coach saban. Hmmmm
Go away, this is a bama fan conversation! Lol
@@joshualand5467tell him dude. Besides Hairball is a cheater
As a Michigan Wolverine fan, it was an honor to play against Nick Saban at the Rose Bowl. Best wishes to him in his endeavors.
Bro thinks he’s on the team 💀😭
As a Missed-again fan, you will soon be the recipient of massive NCAA sanctions and Hairball will leave you holding the bag.
Got to give Nick the biggest of props. I thank him for giving Georgia a coach like smart. His impact on college football is huge no doubt
He has had more coaching "kids" than anyone ever from Smart to Lanning all over the nations top programs.
Agreed
And it's a definite win against Bama next year. Haha
@@deanfirnatine7814you do know those 2 just started coaching right.
You’re wrong, Bama can thank UGA for letting them borrow Kang til he was ready.
Holy crap. As a UGA dawg fan, I hate this. We're headed to Tuscaloosa next year, and the thrill is gone for me now. Absolute shock to see him bow out while he's still young and vigorous, but he doesn't owe anybody an explanation; he's given college football (and its fans) more than anyone else.

As a Michigan fan, this guy made we love college football. The way he coached was on point, all ways making great calls.
Congratulations bro, LSU guy here, but congrats great season.
Thank you for doing something my Ducks were unable to do, which is exposing Washington for the good-but-not-great team they really were
Speak for yourself. He didn't make WE love college football. Ha
He heard Harbaugh was staying
Saban made you love college football? Whatever it takes I guess. Go Blue baby.

That narrative is so corny
How the fuck you build a legacy?
Inheriting a program or building one up?
Lmao
Yall funny as hell
Emotional day for us bama fans but it was bound to happen . Gotta thank saban for bringing bama back and throwing his heart into this team!
Matt, I dont want to laugh at your pain but your making this Hilarious.
Dude is 72 and accomplished everything someone could. Not really that crazy.
Yeppers you’re right and I think he s getting out before this new system it’s going to make it where’s there’s never a repeat champion
As a Utah fan. Salutes to Nick Saban. He is one of the greatest and I wish him the best of luck.
Will never forget that 2008 beat down Utah gave us.
@@1920s still upset we had to play y'all instead of Florida. Was a good game though. Hope y'all do well with whoever you get as your next HC.
Absolute goat. All great things must come to an end 🤘 #SabanForPresident
He is not leaving you high and dry, honor what he has done at your school, I am a LSU fan, but Nick is the goat period. Give the man his due!!
To say “this is bigger than an amber alert” is buck wild . This isn’t bigger than a missing person, child or kidnapper on the loose.
It may not be more important but it is definitely more widespread and talked about
This is the biggest thing to happen in Alabama in 20 years.
There's always that one guy💀
Yes it is. Thousands are reported missing everyday. Just in the USA.
Most amber alerts are a kid being late. Almost 90-%
That’s why there are so missing persons and amber alerts and it’s wrapped up by the next am.
As an Ohio State fan, I felt your pain when Jim Trissel parted ways with osu, I thought the osu program was over, we would never see greatness again, and then we got Urban Meyer. When god shuts a door he opens a window. It’s not as bad as your thinking right now. The tide will roll again!
Yeah tell that to Nebraska and Miami….

This so sudden to me I thought Nick Saban had 5 years left in his coaching career.👀
This fanbase is panicking cause they know a decade of 7-5 is around the corner …. And I love watching it
Now we going to find out who the real Alabama fans are 😂
That’s what I was thinking
Lmfao yeah, the greatest job in college just opened up... 🤣 7-5 for the next decade, are you on acid? RMFT!! 🐘🏆🐘🏆🐘🏆🐘🏆🐘🏆🐘🏆🐘🏆 🖕🖕
If it happens all the bandwagons are gone and I'll be glad
16 years of Gump supremacy over
He’s 72 years old and probably wants to enjoy spending time with his family. He’s not getting any younger, he’s already proven himself over the decades. He’s earned the right to do whatever he wants.
I hope that Nick Saban has a long happy retirement wishing him nothing but the best
this is killing me Urban Meyer Anyone????? 🤨
Urban couldnt handle the pressure when Florida was the only good team in the East or in the Big10 when UM stopped sucking. He could never handle, from a health and nerves standpoint, the new SEC scheduling.
Please no 😭
NO!!!
Nick truly had a hell of a run for sure!!
As a Michigan fan this makes me sad. Truly an honor to play saban in his last game. Goat! Legend. 🙏
This is just the first stage of grief, denial.
I'm not a Bama fan, but Saban is one of a kind and knows how to build a dynasty.
And he knows how to end a dynasty too. Ha. GO DAWGS.
@@1Straightwhiteman with a win against Georgia the last time he coached against them? Roll Tide
@@1Straightwhiteman only 28 more wins in a row to get back to your peak
@travisericson8308 Awe, did I make little travis mad.
@@travisericson8308 awe another Salty one. Haha
Pete Carrol also gone after 14 years, eleven winning seasons including this year.
Yes. That was sad to see.
We were blind sided here at Oklahoma when Bob Stoops retired! It's nerve wrecking news!
Nick Saban just entered the portal
He’s 70 something! M Let him have a life outside of the daily grind of being a college FB coach. Give him thanks and breathing room to find a life outside of this grind
72
I love you Matt! I'm severely depressed as many people are...Bama fans and non Bama fans. I remember when Bama sucked. I'm in shock
Gonna be bad again 😂 can’t wait tired of hearing about what a great coach nick is. He bought best players for a decade meanwhile teams like usc get the book thrown at them. Then when nil leveled playing field dude stank 😂😂😂😂 0-3
@@Benvyious lol just keep letting your anger and frustration out and whatever you need to say to yourself to justify Saban not being one of the greatest coaches ever buddy. Im not offended however . I'd be the same way tbh if I had to watch another team win championships constantly while my school didn't. I can give you many many reasons on why he's possibly the greatest coach ever, but I don't have enough space and you will argue either way bc you're sick of Bama winning constantly and a Bama hater. One main aspect that shows how amazing Saban was, is how he could keep winning EVERY season, in the toughest division in college football, with his coaches leaving every year. Many coaches fail when this happens. Look how Dabo fell apart the year his defense and offense coordinators left. There's not enough room to write the great traits of Saban. Also look at the next possible best coach in college currently in Kirby Smart... he learned under Saban, and look at what he's doing now. The Saban tree is all over college football so YOU really can't get away haha Roll Tide!!
Matt...I just wanna say that thank you for posting! For some reason it helped. Roll Tide
He'll be missed. Glad I lived to see 17 years of success and museum's worth of bling attributed to him! ROLL TIDE!
I’m calling it right now this will be #MattBeBald most viral video on his channel!
Alabama fans trying to cope with the realization the dynasty ends with Saban😭 #mattbebald
Young man should show his bald ass head and be an inspiration to 30 year olds with hairlines of an old 1970s history teacher.
People said that with Paul Bear Bryant and look where that got us. Talk more and watch.
@@MurrayProdsyou ok lil guy
@@setalight7290 yes I’m perfectly fine. Anything wrong with my sentence?
@@MurrayProds sound a little salty bud, bear to saban is like a 30 year gap
My fisrt time commenting on your page. But when I heard this you were actually the first person I thought about . Feel for you my friend. Great content keep it up.
Saban saw the writing on the wall. With NIL, transfer portal and a 12 team playoff, he knew that Bama was about to be exposed. Plus, he's old. Not to mention Texas and Oklahoma is coming to the SEC. And he now has to play Georgia in the regular season. Got out while he was ahead.
He’s 72 and has proven everything.
This new NIL portal 12 team playoff expanded SEC era is not real football
EXPOSED??!!! You mean revealed! For awesomeness!...somebody got paid off on the inside....only reason Michigan won...watch the game
@@johnlicciardello2389 I agree, hurting the student athletes with so much travel.
Saban was made aware of the upcoming event and he is making preparations to be with and try to protect his family.
As a big Michigan fan I’m honestly honored to have faced the goat one last time I can honestly say we hadn’t faced them idk if we be ready for the ship but facing him got us so ready I’m so grateful I wish him the best he should try the nfl one more time
Michigan fan here. Wow, I can't believe it. I don't even know what to think about college football without Nick Saban. But let me say this. Alabama was a great program with Nick Saban but he wasn't the only or even the primary cause of the success. There is a culture of greatness there that will persist. And I doubt that Saban would step away if he had any doubts about that. Best of luck next year, and wouldn't a championship tournament rematch between Bama and Michigan be great?
I'm just glad I got to witness the two best college football coaches of all time, coach the game. Nick Saban and Paul "The Bear" Bryant!!! RFT!!!
No doubt the two greatest college coaches ever.
I would like for him to do a summer tour seminar with coaches sharing his secrets and mindset make for better competition
NIL has changed the game! When a powerhouse program like Bama has guys go in the portal after one season, something's amiss. Usually 4-5 star players go to Bama and know they're gonna sit at least one year. NIL, the portal and instant gratification...
Feeling your pain brother ! Was a rough road after Vince Dooley left UGA 🏈 BUT .... With the transfer portal, it should be less painful for Bamma Fans .✌️
As a Michigan fan this is truly a sad day for college football… Nick Saban elevated the competition like no one else and kept up with the evolving sport… legend.
Yeah, I remember when Bear Bryant retired. That was really tough, and this is equally as tough and you're correct, there aren't any other Nick Saban's out there. So, who knows what will happen now. sucks 😞
"We got these great recruits coming in"...Ryan Williams your top recruit says NOT SO FAST BIG FELLA 😂😂😂
It’ll be ok buddy. Remember all the wonderful memories he provided ya & be thankful for his time there. He may want to enjoy his family before he’s too old. Either way….welcome back to the uncertainty nearly every other fan has for their school. Have a drink it’ll dull the pain.
Nick Saban not looking forward to September in Tuscaloosa when the Dawgs be coming to town, so Nick wants to retire! 😂😂
Alabama hasn’t been this upset since they had to take those signs off the water fountains in the 60s.
Matt I felt like you did when Tom Osborne retired from Nebraska and 3 decades of dominance
Matt, how is this so shocking? There were definitely rumors this year of him retiring. Expecting him to coach until 2032 is a little ridiculous, it makes sense- he's 72 and doesn't like where cfb is headed. Saban is the goat and I hope he enjoys retirement!
He's in his 70s. Be happy for the guy. He doesn't have too many years left. Let him enjoy his family.
Matt, he probably took a good, hard look at what's going on in college football with the portal, NIL and everything else and just looked in the mirror and asked his alter ego one question: Do I really want to keep doing this? I'm 72 years old, been in coaching for over 50 years, accomplished everything possible and just really want to go fishing. The man's the greatest coach we've seen in college and if he thinks it's time to go, well, I respect that. As a Georgia fan, it's been an honor to watch him work even though his Alabama teams have broken my heart more times than I care to remember. I wish him all the best. LEGEND!!!
I never thought the day would come, we will never see another Nick Saban, just like there won’t be another Tom Brady or MJ or Wayne Gretzky he’s just that legendary
Now you know how we felt when Tom Osborne retired.
With all do respect he has earned whatever life he wants at this point. He doesn't owe anybody anything and deserves the respect and consideration of his decision. He made his mark and will always be a legend and we should all be thankful we got to see it. I'm not a Bama fan but I respect the hell out of Saban and wish him all the best and hope he can make up as much time he has left for what he's sacrificed coaching.
The man is 72 years old. He cant coach forever. Be thankful you had him for the past 17 years. All will be fine.
50 year Georgia fan and I am sad to hear that Saban is retiring. College football will never be the same without the Goat villan in Tuscaloosa.
I understand it. This is how us Patriots fans felt when Tom Brady left. He was most of our childhoods and I grew up watching him every weekend for my whole life basically. And now with Bill gone it it’s truly the end of an era, Saban was the Bill B of college, yes we were spoiled since our teams were good but we respect everything they did and I’m extremely grateful for them.
Lmaoo bro is going through ALL the phases of grieving. This ladies and gentlemen, is the denial phase
NIL, portal, expanding conference and playoff, that’s why he’s retiring
The Alabama fan base is selfish. The man has been coaching for 50 years. He’s 72 the man’s let Nick Saban go enjoy life with his family and grandkids
Now you know what other teams, recruits, transfers and fans have gone through. It's rough and it sucks, but you'll get past it. Keep your head up!
Happy Retirement to Coach Saban!!!
Hearing massive number of decommits around the corner. This is crazy.
Matt: As a Duck fan, even I’m shocked. It kinda reminds me the day Bear Bryant died. Takes the wind out of your sails. How old is Sabin anyways? God, I hope it has nothing to do with health reasons.
I know Alabama fans have been enjoying the Saben era and you are surprised at the suddenness of the announcement but the man is 72 years old. He probably wants to enjoy his golden years without the pressure of being the head coach of one of the most high-profile programs in college football.
It sort of makes sense. So many changes happening and Saban is not of this new era. With his age and his unrivaled legacy intact it makes sense to retire right as the CFP is expanding and there is massive conference realignment (not to mention NIL and portal insanity). In any event much respect to Saban. The real and true GOAT.
apparently there was a big diagnosis forcing him to immediately retire, praying for the health of him and his family
Just be thankful that you had him as long as you did
How many times you gone say he’s got something left in the tank🤣🤣
He’s 72. Give it a rest, dude. Be thankful and congratulate him. He’s ending it in his terms
I hope he’s okay, health wise. This seems ridiculously sudden. I see it as Coach recognized how the landscape of college football is changing for the worst and wanted out while it still had some semblance of old school ball.
I was thinking the same thing about his health.
It’s his wife apparently she has dementia
He bought a huge compound in Jupiter Island 🏝️ last April, 18 Million point lot paradise...it was widely reported, had to be under a rock not to see this coming.
@@autk Knew about Jupiter mansion since the day the media told us, which was right after he and Miss Terry purchased it.
