    I don’t know that I’ve ever seen Saban smile.

    Probably not going to retire this year he didn’t win a natty. But if the rumors about his wife having dementia nothing trumps family.

    At least Saban doesn't look as haggard as Merle.

    If being chest high to Jill Arrington in interviews couldn't do it, nothing could.

    Wow.
    What's going to be even more interesting is the fallout from who succeeds him...

    With the win at any cost attitude Bama has toward football, they’ll be fine. They won’t be like they were under saban but they won’t drop off the way we did after spurrier and urban.

    I wonder if the DB we wanted that went to Bama to have Saban as good position coach will transfer to us after Spring?

    Someone in this post wrote that hee just bought a house in Florida... He was right.

    Sad day in my own honest opinion. Never understood why people hated the guy so much other than the fact he knew how to win. Not only did he know how to win but he was a true leader of young men. Read his autobiography which sheds light on what makes Nick Saban tick. The two greatest coaches to ever walk the planet are John Wooden and Nick Saban.

    Not sure about that. They dropped off quite a bit after Gene Stallings.
