Saban has retired.

[Mr. Dynasty1]

"In the meeting, Saban thanked his players for the way they bought in and told them that he'd thought out his decision carefully. But with the way college football has changed in terms of the transfer portal and tampering, NIL being used as a guise for bidding for high school players and transfers, and the recruiting calendar being extended, he told his players that the time was right for him to retire.

Sources told Low that Saban had grown increasingly frustrated with "what college football had turned into. He's all about team and building a team and developing players, and now the only thing that seems to matter is who can get what in the NIL and who can get the biggest deal."

Coaches have been doing this for an eternity.

Now that rabbits got the gun and…..

Josh Pate says that Bama is on 3rd base with their head coaching candidate. If they dont announce in the coming days that means they were told no.

Rumor's on twitter say Lanning is basically a done deal as the coach.

Bama told their players to wait 72 hours before entering the portal. My guess is the coach is announced in the next 3 days... but just a guess

Dan Lanning making weird Bama tweets on his social media...

It'll be Pete Carroll. No coincidence of the timing.

BTW remember when Pete Carroll and Lendale White pulled a prank where he had Lendale White fake commiting suicide? HILARIOUS!

Carroll, White play trick on Trojans

Pete Carroll had some Halloween fun with his top-ranked and unbeaten football team -- as well as some stunned reporters -- on Monday.

Saban failed miserably when faced with NFL roster building.

CFB is now NFL roster building.

You saw the cracks the last few years forming...

Even in a thread which should be a bonding, momentous, joyful event - ******** have to show their ***.

Seems like its a done deal. Head coach search done in a 3 hours lol

 

[Canezum5]

Really not that surprising at all - once the tables turned and NIL made things a bit more equal - he had no interest because he had no clear and substantial advantage.

At least he smart enough to keep his legacy in tact and get out while he still seen as the man.

Must be manuela. Poached him before he got off the plane to Duke ala Temple style.

Guy was the OC at Indiana a few years ago. What a rocket ship ride.

I asked my sports fanatic 9 year old who Alabama will hire.

“I dunno.”

“No idea, bud?”

“I hope they hire Mario.”

“Why? You want him to leave Miami?”

“Yeah, and I want Alabama to be bad.”

Sounds like you've been moping around the house.

Just saw a post that has Mario Cristobal as replacement for Saban! Please, please let this be true!

67-67 and winning coach is an oxymoron

Since when does Colin Coward get anything right?

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

Did they conduct a Nationwide search?

Great coach, not sure he has the recruiting chops for Bama

LMAO "ANYONE BUT DABO!"

The transfer portal broke him

Most coaches are about relationships & team development. I get how it wouldn’t be as meaningful.

Young man’s game now. Go be 72 on the beach.
