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
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
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!!!
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’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!
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
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.
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.
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… ❤️🖤
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.
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 🐘
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
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!
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
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.
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.
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…
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.
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.
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
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
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!
NIL and transfer portal without consequence…this is why. Every year, every one of his players becomes an unrestricted free agent. They let the literal convicts take over. Bama needs a leader that can coach a convict. We need Urban Meyer.
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 .✌️
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.
The portal is a big reason. He's fed up with transfers I hear Saban preach on commitment alot and he said players need it for growth. Not only just for coaching reasons
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
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.
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.
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!
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
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...
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.
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.
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.
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, 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!!!
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 😞
Matt Be Proud! Your coach made our Rose Bowl game feel so much BIGGER than the National Championship game. I know how you feel, I felt the same way when Lloyd Carr 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.
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
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
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.

Saban wanted nothing to do with the NIL portal era and i don’t blame him. Its not real college football
👍👍
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.
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”

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

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.

Lmao

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💀

He'll be missed. Glad I lived to see 17 years of success and museum's worth of bling attributed to him! ROLL TIDE!
GO LIVE!! When the news came out yours was the first channel i went to. Then went to twitter was disappointed i had to wait an hr for your video
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 would like for him to do a summer tour seminar with coaches sharing his secrets and mindset make for better competition
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.
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, 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!!!
Just be thankful that you had him as long as you did
Rumor has it that NIL deals is what did it for Saban
Nick Saban not looking forward to September in Tuscaloosa when the Dawgs be coming to town, so Nick wants to retire! 😂😂
He's not trying to compete with that NIL... He see's the new wave 🌊 and just surfed it to shore. Bless up Saban 🙏🏾
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.
Come on over to Colorado and be the defensive coordinator Nick. You and Coach prime can make commercials every day!!! 😂😂
Hearing massive number of decommits around the corner. This is crazy.
"This is bigger than an Amber Alert "? Tell that to the parents of a missing child! Reality check yourself
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.
How many times you gone say he’s got something left in the tank🤣🤣
Can’t deny the man is a hell of a coach! One of the greatest! Now to watch the portal!
It’s gone get announced in the upcoming days that he signed a contract with ESPN to host college gameday in place of Lee Corso
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 😞
Matt Be Proud! Your coach made our Rose Bowl game feel so much BIGGER than the National Championship game. I know how you feel, I felt the same way when Lloyd Carr 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.
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
Dude he's 72.
The portal is about to be really active in the spring....smh
Matt freaking out because he’s the biggest bandwagon fan of all. Straight up
I would think he would want to play in the 12 team playoffs because he has been in the 2 and 4 team playoffs
He's like a thousand years old it can't be that big of a surprise
