The 72-year-old coach won six national titles as Alabama’s head coach from 2007 to 2023, and another one at LSU, where he coached from 2000-2004.
He sent 116 players to the NFL as head coach of the Crimson Tide.

Saban’s Alabama team is coming off a College Football Playoff semifinal loss to Michigan earlier this month. He finishes his career with a record of 292-71-1 as a head coach in college, and a record of 201-29 at Alabama.
If Swinney leaves Clemson for Alabama after the 2022 season, he would owe Clemson $9 million. In 2023 and 2024, it drops to $7.5 million, $6 million in 2025, $4.5 million in 2026 and 2027, $3 million in 2028 and 2029 and $1.5 million in 2030.
I feel bad for who comes after him. You just can't live up to what he's done.
At least they'll get a nice 7 figure check for 3-4 years, before they get fired for not winning a national title every other year.
Saban is smart, he left before the CFP expanded and the NIL deals started to level the playing field. Now he can lay on the beach or get an 8 figure check working for ESPN.
No farewell tour where every team would try to beat him, very smart man.

I can see Saban replacing Lee Corso on ESPN College Gameday, since Lee is 88-years-old now and 16 years older than Nick.
Bama was the evil empire so long that most people are surprised Darth Vader(Saban) decided to lay down his light saber. Great career! Not quite Bear Bryant but who remembers him? Enjoy the sunset. He deserves it.
