Nick Saban releases official statement, college football reacts to his stunning retirement
Nick Saban has called it a career, as he is retiring as the head coach of Alabama.

Lanning best choice. Debo? Don’t see it. Kiffin? Another good choice, but not sure Bama can handle his sense of humor, which I enjoy. Watching this search for a replacement will be fun to watch.
Debo not Debo. Hate autocorrect
DABO!! Still hate autocorrect.
I wonder how the 2024 Alabama signing class feels about the timing of Saban's announcement.
Next question, can they get out of their NLI after the HC quits?
This will be interesting. While Alabama may be the dream job for most coaches it will be very hard to follow in Saban's footsteps. It could be a head coaching carousel for a while if success doesn't come quickly.
It is going to be plain weird going to Tuscaloosa and it not being about Kirby vs. Saban!
This is shocking, not that Saban is retiring, but that he decided to do it now. So, whose is next to coach Bama that list will be hefty list. Unless Alabama promotes from within [doubtful?] someone's university will be worrying that it won't be theirs. Dabo maybe? What about the 2024 class yikes? 😎
Dan Lanning?😎
How fitting saban retires 2 years to the day he lost his last shot at a NC. Just ask Kelee Ringo!
Go Dawgs!
They supposedly have 30 days to make a decision on the portal.
I hope he lives longer than the Bear did after he retired. Every SEC football fan I knew back then was saddened by the news of his death. I even know Auburn fans that cried on that day.
Greatest coach of all time. UGA possibly has the one person that could take that crown in 20 years. I'll take Kirby at 48.
The cell phones are lit tonight! This is national sports news. The big question now is who is next? Lanning with that $20 mil buyout...hummmm? I am not speculating on this one. One thing...Saban is going out with that last win over UGA! Kirby lives with that now. Also, can one even imagine Tuscaloosa without Saban?
