Nick Saban (ex-HC Alabama Crimson Tide)

That was Schlister's last regular season game. Buckeyes were down 9-7 late but with the ball inside scUM's 5. On, I think, 3rd down he kept the ball, ran to the right, had about 4 defenders in front of him and juked every one of them to score the TD. 14-9 good guys. One of the most amazing plays I've ever seen.
Famous Broadax block - took out 3 defenders.
I was at that game - it was cold …

WATCH: Alabama football releases tribute video in honor of Nick Saban​


970d1b7174d4ec77cf1f7484576e1818


It has been a little over 24 hours since the announcement of Nick Saban’s retirement as the head football coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide and it still doesn’t seem real.

With the circus that is the Alabama football coaching carousel, taking the time to remember what Coach Saban did and meant to the university is vastly being overlooked.

The truth is, we should have spent most of Thursday in a state of gratitude for being witnesses of the greatest dynasty in college football history rather than constantly refreshing our social media looking for the most recent update on the coaching search.

The official X account (formerly Twitter) of the Alabama football team smacked all of us with the reality of the situation with a masterpiece of a tribute video to Coach Saban narrated by the great Tom Rinaldi.

I’d grab a tissue.

I wonder if Saban caught wind that the NCAA was coming after coaches for NIL stuff and decided “that’s enough for me” and peaced out as not to tarnish his legacy by getting caught up in it.
Possibly. But more likely he's 72 and doesn't want to deal with NIL and transfer portal bullshit anymore. It's getting to the point that you basically have to re-recruit half of your roster every December/January on top of recruiting HS kids. I'd rather retire and shine my seven rings than do that.

Would be a great czar if whatever breakaway that the college football elite turn into.
