Hes a fraud. I bet everyone and their momma 10 years ago that he would retire immediately if they ever legalized paying players. He never mainly recruited his own state. Now that everyone is spending top dollar on players guess who ran away first Just guess. What kind of legend refuses to recruit against a level playing field?
The man is 72 years old! He has a family, friends. I’m sure he didn’t plan on coaching until he died. I’m happy for him. Life is short! It’s time for him to go enjoy the rest of the life he has.
Exactly
yeah it is weird people are acting like it is shocking. He'll be 73 this year and wants to enjoy his life. He is as good as they come, but the stress gets to you the older you get.
Amen yo-yowilliams2022!! I agree with you 100%!
agreed
Retirement often cuts people's life shorter. He's not leaving because of his age. He's tired of all the headaches that's come with NIL and the transfer portal.
Dude is 72. Let the man live. A legend.
I don’t blame him. Everything is changing he will go out a legend. Enjoy your retirement coach.
Kudos to Nick Saban for retiring a hero instead of staying long enough to see himself become the villain
28 years as a head college football coach. 19 bowl victories. 13 SEC Championships. 7 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! And Coach Nick Saban NEVER had a losing season as a College Head Football Coach!!! He IS the greatest college head football coach of ALL TIME as far as I am concerned. And Joy is absolutely right. This man, at 72 years of age deserves to retire on his own terms. I'm happy for him. He deserves to be able to spend the rest of his life enjoying his wife, kids, and grandchildren away from college football.
Bama always had the best players....dude left as soon as NIL came and made it fair for others😂😂
@@Joker.9.9.9 They had the best players because of Saban ....The nil doesn't make it fair , it's just going to be players jumping all over based on greed.
Nick Saban saw that 12 team playoff format for next year and the NIL deals and said “Aight Ima head out ✌️”
Exactly! Smart man...Roll Tide
😂😂😂
Facts lol 😂
Nick Saban is the greatest college coach ever.
Agree
I am officially retired after 20 years in the Corps in two weeks, I left on my own terms and accomplished everything I wanted! I understand Coach, go spend well deserved time with your family
Years ago I thought he was a bit arrogant. Then I watched how much the man helped his community and poor people after that devastating tornado. He’ll go down as one of
the best if not the best college football coaches of all time. God’s blessings Nick!! Thanks for the memories.
Nick Saban was that one head coach that you disliked because he won so much but you understood why he was who he was and he is the GOAT 🐐 coach
it's easy to win when you have a team full of NFL player
@@Joker.9.9.9 he had that team because they came there to play for him.....keep hating though, you sound silly.
@@Joker.9.9.9 They didn't have that when he first got there so ..
Enjoy your Retirement Mr. Saban. You deserve to finally take a breather. You was the best Coach in College and will probably be the last Best Coach that Alabama will get. Times are changing so i think you made the right choice myself. You're walking away as big time Championship Coach and you don't owe us the Fans nothing. You gave it your all. The Players loved you too. You can now live the rest of your life enjoying what's left. Thank you Coach. And you left on your own terms. We love you Coach. Representing Alabama from Maryland. ❤
RIDING OFF INTO THE SUNSET LIKE A REAL OG!!!!!!
We can argue whether he should have retired or not but what can’t be questioned is that he retires the undisputed 🐐of college football man had more first round picks than losses at Alabama that absolutely incredible.
Nobody ever questioned that😂
FACTS
At some point when you want to retire, you don't have to answer to someone else as to why.
When the hassle overcomes the gratification, enough is enough. Respect, Mr Saban.
As a Dawg fan 💯 enjoy your retirement Nick. When we win more championships it will not feel the same knowing we didn't have to beat Alabama lead by Saban!
Good luck with that. GA is the talk of the moment NOT a serious legacy team.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Saban didn’t want to go out like Belichick and I don’t blame him.
Saban didn’t want nothing to do with the NIL & this new recruiting system… he liked the old way & wasn’t for the this stuff, that’s really it. Only reason why i can think for him to retire
I mean he is 72 years old. I can assume the recruiting period takes a toll on the body with all the driving and flying to recruit games and homes. Especially recruiting occurs during the season
Just my opinion but I think Nick Saban is retiring because the game is different and NIL has changed the integrity of College Football. Although I’m sure Alabama can compete with any school on the NIL level but the landscape has changed.
Transfer portal as well
I seen it. The moment his greatest strength was taken... (ABSOLUTE CONTROL) it was only a matter of time.
Acho… did you watch against Michigan!? How tf Saban coaching just as good as ever and wasn’t able to make ANY adjustments!!! Nick is known for adjusting! Bama took a ton of recruits from all over… it’s about to be a lot of that talent dispersing to multiple schools!!! Nick deserved to walk out like he wants and as a Bama fan I hate it but gotta respect it!
What are you talking about ? Go back and watch the game! The adjustments Saban and Alabama made were the reasons they almost won that game, had it been any other team but Michigan or Georgia they win that game. First half they didn’t run the ball well outside of their first TD run and Michigans D line was making it difficult to throw the ball. Michigans SP team mistakes were the only reason the game was close going into halftime. The second half they adjusted and gave Milroe more intentional runs which opened up the passing game enough to keep Michigan honest. First half the Bama defense had multiple blown coverages that led to touchdowns, and they looked confused at times. Second half they cleaned up their defense and held Michigan scoreless until that game tying drive Michigan went on at the end of the 4th. Had it not been for the Milroe fumble they might of had a bigger lead than they did. They definitely made adjustments, Saban is the best I’ve ever seen at making half time adjustments. Put some respect on the man’s name.
Saban a goat 🎉🎉
Since the NIL and Portal started Alabama has not been the same team. You can even say Georgia was not the same team this year as many of the guys that won Championships were at Georgia prior to NIL/Portal. Georgia lost a lot of young guys to the portal who would have stayed in years passed and been groomed so I am anxious to see them in 2 years because next year they should be good.
Prior to the BCS and the Playoff era there was more parity in college football and the SEC benefited under the last 2 systems. The NIL/Portal and 12 team playoff will bring more parity into college football like pre BCS and Playoffs and you will see a variety of champions post 2025.
Its never the right time, until it is.
*Any time is good at this point the man is 72 years old let him enjoy his fortunes with good quality of life health wise*
Coach Bryant coached until he died. And he didn't make much. He didn't drive fancy cars. He didn't have to. I still respect Coach Saban's decision. He just beat Georgia AGAIN. He is so great his humility blinds him from how truly great of a coach and man he is. No way Bama should have been ranked 5th. An absolute insult. Bama was #2, easy. 3 minutes away from #1. Unbelievable
He’s been through cycles like this before. When they lost to Ohio State in the first playoffs they had Blake Sims as a QB. You don’t have the best QB every year and they were still very competitive
It's kind of parallels to why Mike Krzyzewski retired when he did; Mike and Nick are older and both seen the landscape of their respective sports like the one and done and NIL so they both decided to gracefully bow out because it's a young man's game now
People keep saying NIL drove saban to retire, maybe he retired because is 72 years old !! 😂
72 years old. That is why he is retiring. He and Terry are going to spend their time together
Being 72 having 199-24 as your record and having more PLAYERS go to the nfl (44) thsn your loss record is impressive
Props to nick and joy is right now he caj literally say he went out at the peak
As a Bama guy it was time. You don't want to do what Bobby Bowden did bring the program down.
Wow I didn’t see this coming
Saban and Alabama been doing Name Image Likeness deals for years‼️ That’s how Alabama kept ending up with the top players but after everyone started doing it that changed things for Alabama‼️ Let’s just keep it real‼️
Big facts💯
Agreed. Saban saw his last edge vanish, brilliant enough to see it was time to pass the troch. Great accomplishment overall.
For once i think Joy is spot on. Acho is right, too, this may have been Saban’s best coaching season. But this is not a bad way to close the book. I felt worse about Barry Sanders stepping away when he did. But I get it.
💯💯💯💯💯
Barry was a quitter and a cry baby....he could have played out his 4 year deal and went someplace else.
72 years old give that man his peace. Hes given his life to football. No one should question this.
Enjoy your life with your family Saban 💐 you will be missed ❤
Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey being hurt is the ONLY reason UGA didn’t 3 peat!!!
Why does Joy make more SENSE then the dudes who PLAYED football!!!
I think the only reason beside his players that it took him until the last 2 or 3 minutes he had before the team meeting to make his mind up was bc he was looking at 12 team playoff and had a decent chance to win one more but he's at peace with his decision
Joy is absolutely right on this one. Saban saw a 12 team playoff and NIL making this more challenging, and rather than go out like Belichick being at an old age desperately trying to keep up with all the younger coaches and the money that’s EVERYWHERE NOW, he thought “yeah, I’m out”. and he went to the playoff (undeserved) in his final season. It’s perfect.
Undeserved? 😂👌🙄
@@jj18057 yes. They lost a game and shouldn’t have gotten in over undefeated FSU.
@@garfieldGGFSU was a joke of a team that never should have been ranked as high as it was. Michigan, Washington, Alabama, Texas, Oregon, OSU were all better than FSU even when Jordan “Trash” Travis was the starter. Georgia blew them out 63-3 and before you mention missing players Georgia was missing around the same number as well.
@@garfieldGGFSU showed they shouldn’t have been in the playoffs even if they played their starters UGA would still demolish them
@@JuanSanchez-lj8uf bowl games are meaningless
I mean he has recruit these players, go fly to games, visit homes, coach them up discipline them etc that takes a toll on your body
Auburn fans bout throw the retirement party😂😂😂
Tough job to want for any coach. I think a lot of coaches won’t want this. Because this is huge shoes to fill. And the Alabama fans will not let you forget it.
its the portal and the 12 teams playoff. college football is a young mans game now.
Thanks Shady , having it make sense
Joy is on point about nick Saban.
Little harder when you don’t have a monopoly on 5 ⭐️s
Dang!!! I had no idea he was 72. He looks very young for his age. I thought he was in his late 50s. Yeah it’s time for him to enjoy his family. I ain’t gone lie I’m not a Nick Saban fan. But he is the greatest college football coach in history. Nobody is touching his success so I give him his flowers
Acho it's ALWAYS the right time if it's his decision and it was!!!!
Shady looks like, " I'm only here so I don't get fined." 😂
Let Nick live
The old Alabama is no more Saban recognized this, but he's still a great coach, and I'm happy he's leaving on his terms.
The GOAT will truly be missed! RTR!!!
whats going on with Shady? 9:27
I think I seen several players decommit to Bama after the news
Jim Bo Fisher should get this job…perfect for Jaylen Milroe
He better be on the cover of NCAA when it drops
NIL has been able to get players to go to other schools thus creating a larger pool of talent spread across multiple schools around the country. Alabama football is inherently a school that gets its talent based off Sabans name and history. Yes they were throwing money here and there previous to NIL but Alabama doesnt have oil money or deep pockets in comparison to USC, Texas, Texas A&M, etc. to keep up. If money is the biggest factor of people going to schools, the schools with the most money to give players will be popping up in the coming years just wait.
My thoughts exactly..💯💯💯💯💯
That's not it. He's seen players turn into divas wanting all the perks of being a professional athlete with non of the responsibility.
This is the reason NS is taking a break. To know about coaching a group of people it's impossible for someone who never has done it to how its done. It's not easy. Different personalities. But NS made it work a few years
He should've not retired. I'm still shocked wow.
We know but sometimes forget that a coach that has a wife and family has a support system that has been by his side sacrificing their own desire to allow him to take the time to travel and coach to the standard of a winning program in Bama. If Saban wanted to focus on his life spent with his family btw, health issues were mentioned also, it is very much understandable that he might have felt that he owed this to his family to retire and focus on them more so. As a Bama fan I am sad not for just myself and co Bama fans but for the Collegiate Football realm for a lack of a better word. Nevertheless, I think of Joy's main point: Saban has the right to leave on his own terms .I, personally of course wish he had left after letting people know that he was retiring after a full season but he still has the right. The Crimson Tide have 6 National Championships largely due to this man. He can do whatever he wants to: Period.
Just call it like it is Nick ran once the playing field start to even out, Alabama always had the recruiting advantage once they lost that Nick ran end of discussion
Or maybe it has something to do with him being 72, and wanting to spend at least SOME of his golden years with his family?
@@jerodgraham6623 very possible but I doubt dat was it, Nick been crying about the NIL since it was in talks he knew his end was nearing
Ran? Saban was a few plays from another title. Took out the b2b champs. He had no starting qb the first few weeks of this year. The man is 72 and retiring on top. Bad take dude
@@dirtyrice333 how is he retiring on top when he literally just lost the Championship gm lol man go to bed 🤦🏽♂️
Did acho just contradict himself in back to back segments? Saying Carroll is too old he needs to leave but Sabin needs to stay
"You either die a legend, or live long enough to become the villain." Wow. I felt that, Joe Paterno...
Only ppl that are panicking are those bandwagon Bama fans 😂😂😂
3:12 something looks like it is bothering Shady
The man is 72!!!!
Between portal , nil its tough
Joy 100% Right!!
All Hale to the New 👑.... "Kirby" and all of its Kingdoms In Athens. GA.
UGA Football.
He’s retiring as HC of Alabama. Nobody said he was completely done with football. I think he’ll still have his hands in the university but not as HC.
He could handle NIL, its the portal he couldnt handle. Every backup is looking to transfer. Cant build a team that way.
Joy is taking about what you’re talking about.
😂😂😂😂
The right time is HIS time
Hope yall Bama fans enjoyed the dominance-cause it’s ova!!!
The coach from Oregon will be bamas next head coach just watch
You guys should listen to Saban retirement interview, he stated
Isn’t he 72 , Congrats Nick, enjoy your retirement!
Yooooooo I had no idea? Why Nick Saban? You make so much money?!!
Dude is in his 70s maybe he just wants to enjoy the rest of life 😂
Kirby headed to bama
I knew when he bought that Ferrari late last year he was outta there 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He retiring Because college sports are legit getting crazy the ways of how he was recruiting players and nil wrecking shop
You tell it boo! U right tho
Shady look like he ready to go. ✌🏾
How tf can you say it’s right or wrong. It’s his life and he’s choosing to go out on top. You can think he’s still got more gas in the tank. But this is his life. There ain’t no right or wrong with this decision
Saban retired so Kirby could never get another win over him and beat him in their last matchup. Excellent troll job, Nick 😂
Dude, there are other mitigating factors that might have played a hand into his retirement. How can you say it's not the best time for him? Maybe it is the best time for him. He has family.
Its NFL playoffs and we talking about college. Save it for the off season.
When a coach
has his pedigree and age his time is the right time.
I think harbaugh is next. NIL and transfer portal has changed college football so much. Recruiting was crazy already, NIL and transfer portal has made it worse.
Okay NOW age doesn’t matter?
Saban should stay, but Carrol should go…got it.
Let's get rid of Belichik now.
Watch him be coaching with bill next year 😂
This is deeper the timieing
Preach it Acho!!! This year was the most impressive coaching job I have ever seen and I've been watching football since 1979! At the beginning of the season, this team had a trash o-line and NO STARTING CALIBER QB. None. It was a comedy of errors. The defense was not very good. Milroe was named the starter and looked like trash. Got benched. My thought was, "Welp, the dynasty is over.' Then Saban worked and molded Milroe, formed an offense around his strengths, while continuing to challenge him to be a better passer. By the end of the season, this kid could pass, run like a gazelle and has a cannon for an arm. Never in all my years have I seen a coach that can CREATE qb's from scratch like this. I'm sad that we won't get one more year with Milroe, because the prospects for that kid had the potential to be scary. Imagine a guy who can run like Lamar, has a cannon for an arm, but farther ahead in the passing game than Lamar was as a rookie in the nfl, but with SIZE to go along with the athleticism! Sigh
NIL and the freed-up transfer portal are both due to everybody's desire to stop Saban and level the playing field. So every college athlete owes a debt of thanks to Nick Saban- you're welcome!
You gotta know when to hold them know when to fold them know when to walk away, know when to run
I don't know what they are talking about. It was clear Saban was looking to retire but I thought it would be next year.
A segment not about Jalen Hurts or the Eagles? Is the world ending?
