ODed on two doses of Smart and one of Harbaugh..
Bye now. Goat 5; Kirby 1 LOL. Yep. Ole Saint Nick will be living Rent Free in a bunch of other Team’s Alumni for YEARS. 😂 Too bad TAMU didn’t make Saban an $$$ offer he couldn’t refuse to move to College Station. 🥲

Probably done with the NIL and Portal madness.
College football is a whole different animal these days. My thoughts also.

Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

Think about this - the (possible) land rush of Alabama football talent to hit the transfer portal in the next 30 days.
Could be WILD for other teams.
ETA - you got kids leaving Bama because Nick is gone. You got kids leaving X because their coach left to replace Nick. What happens to NIL money? I'm sure some of that was contingent on the "star" that player would be under Nick and Bama's position in CFB as Tier 1 program. If the perception that the next coach doesn't maintain that - do those NIL contracts change? Do those kids bolt for the money elsewhere under a different coach and expectation? Portal closed until April I was under the impression they have 30 days to enter now due to Saban's leaving. Coach leaves type of thing, not normal portal ops. Oh, thanks. I didn't know that.

Saban bought a big expensive house near Jupiter Florida last summer. The writing was on the wall that he was going to retire from coaching.

When everybody can pay the players, winning becomes more difficult.

Saban knows what a lot of azzholes haven’t figured out; that the SEC is working overtime to do away with college sports as we have had in great past years! We’ve got to spoon feed the ‘lil darlings coming up today to give them the glory that they think they’re due!! Fugg ‘em all!

Not a fan, but he was certainly an outstanding coach. Bummer for Alabama fans. I can remember how I felt when Appalachian lost Jerry Moore to retirement.

He has been a hell of a good coach. Don't blame him a bit for retiring. He isn't getting any younger. Enjoy the money now because someday he won't be able to.

Not sad for us LSU fans...lol LSU didn't know when they had a good thing and then bitched about letting him go but mainly because he whipped their asses on a very regular basis!! LSU did not "let Saban go." They absolutely knew what they had. Not a very informed take. There was no way LSU could match the Dolphins' offer and the way Wayne Huizenga (may he rot in hell) rolled out the red carpet and private jets for him. Skip Bertman tried everything he could to convince Saban to stay at LSU. It actually wasn't all about money. Nick Saban was eager to give the NFL a shot, his name was hot, he had his pick of the available jobs, and there was no talking him out of it, not even Skip. He had to scratch that itch. Now that it's all over, and with 20/20 hindsight, what I wish could have happened is when LSU got wind Saban was coming back to college, they should have let Les Miles go and got Saban back to Baton Rouge. The Sabans liked BR and had a lot of friends there. He probably would have gone back.

They'll put the hard sale on Dabo - he's one of their star alumnae I think Dabo has hosed his chances with his backwards thinking about NIL and the transfer portal. He's basically let the game pass him by... I'd try to money whip Urban Meyer, he's still got a few years...If he said no then go after the Oregon or UDub coach...I think Sark and Kirby are off the table. Texas can match anything they could offer Sark and then some, and Georgia is Kirby's Alma Mater..

College football is a whole different animal these days. This - I think that he realizes just how completely they've f'ed up college football. Even with more money than Croesus available to buy whichever players he wanted, he didn't want to continue with the idiocy.
