As much as Saban pained us Louisiananimals for years, dude is a certified legend. Respect
This Longhorn hates him. But mad respect. I hope he is named Czar of CFB in lieu of the NCAA demise. NIL, Transfer Portal, CFB Playoff, give him full veto power.
At least he won a national championship for you though
Not only did he bring LSU a championship, they’ve remained a powerhouse ever since. Before Saban, LSU was bad, worse than Bama before Saban.
Saban is only reason LSU football exist today. Js
@rolltide5059 lol. Saban was 15 pts from 5-7 his last yr at LSU.
As an LSU fan I still appreciate Saban and really hope he can help make a difference in helping save college football.
He will be back at lsu when they get rid of Kelly
Saban is my hero. Lifelong Alabama fan. I will never forget how happy I was watching Coach Saban walk off that plane. I never could have dreamed of the things he made happen in Tuscaloosa.
Yes and he did everything he said he would do in that first speech!!! That shows me he was all in for BAMA!!!
@@robertstultz2260 My favorite speech was after that first national championship. I want everyone to know this is not the end. This is just the beginning. Boy was that the truth.
I respect Saban so much. I wish he would be CFB commissioner.
I’m 32 seconds in the interview and I can just TELL Saban’s sense of humor is reallyy gonna show in this one 😆😆😆
UGA fan here and I literally never thought I would miss Saban but I do! He's the GOAT!
As an Auburn fan, I’ve hated this man my entire life, but ALWAYS respected him. I love this version of him and can’t wait to see him on Gameday!
LSU fan here.... I am So Thankful Coach Saban came to LSU. If he doesn't I don't know that LSU would've reached it's potential. We knew when we hired him that he was going, eventually, to the NFL. I Love Coach Saban, especially now that he's retired. He looks Great and can't wait for Game Day!❤️
I like college football much more than pro but college football is completely broken now. Players are going to be jumping from school to school each and every year chasing money, it's ridiculous that there are no regulations in place.
We need Saban on camera in and every chance possible.
Finebaum will NEVER WIN A NATIONAL TITLE!!
Give him a couple of top 5 recruiting classes and come back to us LOL.
NOR will YOU..STOP being a JEALOUS A$$
@aeromedical6776 nobody gave those to saban however he got them he got them prob double your age grinding everyday. Respect the man's work he was given nothing from a small town in west Virginia the man built his own legacy.
@@trulypoortbreezy1829 - Did you skip school the day they taught sarcasm? Apparently you did or just fell asleep during class.
@@aeromedical6776 fck ur jokes... u can take ya jokes down there...
As a Alabama fan i find it fitting a man from west virginia gives back to the great state of Alabama. Next a man from a small town in wisconsin gone give us another title. Rolltide til i die....
And even after that.
Coach looks great. Def seems energized. He needed to take a break. Rtr
Oh this is Gold as a BAMA Fan!
I didn’t not know Finebaum was from Memphis,TN
A zebra can’t change its stripes. Try as they might by the end it was Finebaum asking the questions and Saban providing the answers!
Of course it was..WHY would you think anything else
@@BBAKER22because the title says saban will be interviewing finebaum.
I think they should stop paying freshman players. So there not making a decision on where there going based on money. Every NIL deal should be under contractual obligation .
And players can decide weather they want to commit for 1 year or 4. But they should half to honor there deal before transfer.
I agree that contracts need to be in place. But please correct me if I’m wrong, but technically schools can’t pay athletes still… only donors for NIL. If the donors said the contract states a student athlete has to stay at a certain university for a period of time, it would be treated as though the school were a party to the contract, and then they’d be in violation of the “schools can’t pay” rule. Basically, this is a major cluster-F and until it gets solved, the college game will be a hot mess. It’s gotten to the point that I now prefer watching the NFL vs my Alma mater (Go Green, Go White!).
Lol..NEVER gonna happen
Free trial
Great video!
In my head the NK on sabans shirt stands for Nick and Kirby. The best duo of all time
Love coach Saban.
I can understand why people want to pay players. However, I think a college education is worth lots of money. Why isn't that sufficient.
I think finebaum was a little nervous
Lol..Arguably the DUMBEST thing I've heard in years..Thier good friends
Love that Coach Saban has transitioned to his life after coaching flawlessly. I hope he replaced Corso on College Game Day
Retire coach. We all love you but you need to relax. It's your time to enjoy life outside of football. You are and will be the best ever to do it!
Bear died when he did that,And he said he would too
I’m quitting college sports. No kid should be paid lucrative amounts of money while in school to play a sport if they’re getting an education. Sports do not last forever, I know this better than anyone after playing two NCAA sports in college. That being said, Saban is the GOAT! Always will be, no comparison.
CNS is such a LEGENDARY figure. He's the actual goat of HC's in CFB! I'm going to miss that man on the sidelines WITH ol' Ced pacing behind em! 🤣 BUT, I'm honestly looking forward to what CKDB will be able to do AND to see CNS absolutely kill it, in everything that he'll do on tv, AND for the game we all love.
I’m so happy to see these two finally getting married
😂
Jealous, huh?
@@cowslinger64absolutely
As a Georgia graduate, I have nothing but tempered distain and deep respect for this man all at the same time.
He left college football because he got smacked twice by Georgia and he wasn't able to control players careers with the advent of the NIL...
So he bailed
That last part was the dumbest take ever 😂😂😂
Nick had to do the interviewing. Finebaum still hasn't stopped the crying jag since Harbaugh torched the south.
Nothing but love for Uncle Nick & Mrs Terry. This Fighting Tiger fan doesn't give respect to Paul .
To his own discredit.
Yawn! 💪🐅🎵🎶💜💛🏈
100
💯
Put Saban in charge of the NCAA. The NCAA has been a biased laughing stock for a while now. Go Vols
😂❤
clicked and paused just to say even Coach Saban can't get me to sit through a Paul Finebaum video. Just let Coach Saban take all of Finebaum's responsibilities at ESPN and get Finebaum to retire already
I think the coaches have to take a big cut. And also those on e.s.p.n.
How is this saban interviewing Feinbaum? This is a regular interview.
This is a hilarious spin with Saban behind the 8 ball
Nice
🐐🐘
can they just mute paul and let nick talk..
I agree with Saban on most things. But trying to acheive competitive balance is thrown around to easily.
There is enough competitive balance currently as is. Programs aren't handicapped too much to allow any random team to win at the highest level within the blink of an eye. Every program must commit an honest effort to truly compete for a championship. Once we get teams that luck their way or back their way into winning a championship the true spirit of college football will be gone.
I'm all for Saban to fix this nonsense!
How but the Coaches get a Check each month and the players sign a contract for three years and let’s see how many coaches we have in college
I never really understood just how many idiots I'm surrounded by until social media came along and I got a chance to read the comments. No wonder our country is circling the toilet some of these people would rather watch someone else fail than they would be successful themselves.... I think they are called haters with no future and no desire to have one some men just want to see the world burn
JJ McCarthy is the best player in college football history, hands down, period, endo story.
Lol..Please get the MENTAL COUNSELING you so OBVIOUSLY NEED, because you're DELUSIONAL
Please, lay off the shrooms.
@@blue97488Shrooms make you see the truth big dummy.
😂😅 delusional, much?
We all have opinions mine is the reason Sabin quit was the big money the kids was getting him saying they should get paid I don't believe that he was Old school
In the interest of collage football. The sport is ruined
No it isn’t .
So glad he didn’t follow Paul’s lead and say anything positive about that POS tuberville….dude is absolutely the worst of the worst!
Nick let every college pay they own way they have had it made far to long. Pay the athletes. Or shut it all down
Harbaugh > Saban
There is no college football they need to unionize it take away the free ride
Alabama payed players for years illegally and could offer more money than the next. Now they just have to offer more money that’s the only problem. Now the door has been opened and its deepest pockets win. Sucks for college football , but it’s always been that way. Now people just don’t have to hide. Fix the transfer portal and pay the players at your own risk.
No! Coach is right... again.
But he can't say what he really wants to.
Notice he mentions equality...he's talking about is the FN money nil is allowing high profile players (quarterbacks running backs etc.) to make more...MUCH MORE than the young men around them that protect them...to make them look so good...they aren't making shyt!
And they will eventually pick uo on that and say FVCK that... ...opps. i slipped on that block in my $10 position and your $1,000,000 quarterback is crippled now... ...
Do any of you people see what I mean???
FVCK THE nil and the agents (lawyers) who pushed it through.
These kids will make more in college football than in pros...cuz they won't make it to the pros.
STOP nil ALL TOGETHER!!!!!
Enjoy 2-10 fine bumb
finebaum so awkward 😂
Saban gonna get the rules changed and come back to coach.
I think you have a good point here
Absolutely
I actually think that could happen. PROBABLY NOT, but it's possible... Kinda like Bill Snyder at Kansas State...
Saban is going to get the rules changed, but he isn't coming back to coaching...
Title 9 my rear end. Why are schools wasting time and money on NON-REVENUE sports? Is it just virtue signaling? The purpose of college used to be to prepare you for a career, to prepare you to make MONEY throughout the rest of your life. Most athletes in non-revenue sports will never play again after they leave school, certainly not professionally. So why do the schools waste time and money and effort on sports that are not a viable career path?
Because college also isn't supposed to be about sports either. Sports are just supposed to be used as a means to get into college and be a secondary thing but we have turned it into a primary thing now and made athletes out to be more important than the rest of us.
Athletics are to enhance the educational experience. They add and enhance values to students character they greatly benefit them for life. I think women’s sports are important.
@@braxtonorso6146 I agree. College sports are important and they aren’t all meant to make money.
Watch the end of U.S. dominance in the Olympics once non-revenue sports like swimming, diving, and track go away.
Most athletes in revenue sports also don't play after they leave school. You know what percent of college football and basketball players go on to play in the NFL or NBA? Very small. The fact is not everything has to make money to be a good thing.
Texas oil money will ruin college sports for everyone involved
These last 3 years have been a huge disappointment with no national championships call me spoiled but I got used to seeing Alabama win nattys now Deboer will bring us back to national prominence Deboer > Saban.
Roll tide!
I wish Saban would stop saying he cares about the well being of the kids. He wasn’t volunteering to coach at Alabama. He was paid pretty well to care about the kids well being.
You sound so stupid he still had a job to do and bills to pay
What an idiotic comment! This was his job, his occupation. He worked 15-plus hours a day as a coach/ teacher/ mentor. His years of experience as a coach are unmatched.
It’s called HIRING/INVESTING for a position at an institution that provides an education for student athletes. No one is volunteering for that job at that level. Look up The UofA ROI on that hire. His pay was below what they got in return.
Wow, that was a mind-numbingly dull interview.
Texas sent Saban into retirement 😂 Go Longhorns
And Oklahoma sent Ewers back to school for a year
Gus malzahn has a better record against saban than kirby or sark
The dude is 72. Do you wanna be working everyday at 72? It takes a lot out of you to keep a strong program going day in day out.
Remember the “Saban to Texas” announcement. Neither do I.
Let’s see some pics of that short horns trophy case! 😂😂😂😂😂 I know, no comparison. Take your rehabilitated drunk, put 3 fingers in it and spin. Best you’ll ever have it! 🤡
Both took massive L's to Jim Harbaugh
Stealing...signs...😂
He beat the breaks off Harbaugh in the 2020 bowl game.
Let’s compare trophy cases. 😂😂😂😂😂 Meeechigan couldn’t hoist Bama’s nuts.
Massive? Really? They lost in OT!
Let's not forget that Harbaugh and staff have been stealing signs for at least the 2 years that they know about. Michigan's team has benefited from those stolen plays, they did not win those games on their own.
Saban couldn’t manage a NFL team.
The guy that had the best players for 20 years is talking about being fair. What horseshit
The players came to Alabama because they wanted to be on a winning team and to be coached by the best. Jealous haters gonna hate.
A shameless cheater interviews a propagandist-- FIFY ESPN
Finebaum is a joke
Such a hypocrite. He had no problem with having the #1 recruiting class after a Natty but now he wants to talk about parity and drafting last after you win. You quit because you couldn’t compete. Quitter.
Saban could buy you and your worthless family and sell them, pennies on the dollar. Gotta love a You screwed Evangelist. 🤡
Tell us more about your time as the Poe Dunk LMNOP Community Receptacle. 🤡
Your argument makes no sense. Why would he have a problem with being better at his job than anyone else? That has nothing to do with what he’s talking about, at all. Coaches will always try to get the best players that they possibly can, as they should, and some coaches will be better at that than others. That’s not even an issue, though, as long as everyone is playing by the same rules, and no one has any unfair advantages, obviously.
The fact that certain elite head coaches, like Saban, are superior to the others, because they outwork their competitors, and they’re simply better than them at their jobs, isn’t really the sort of problem that needs to be fixed. It’s not a coach’s job to start slacking off, because he’s been dominating the competition too much, and no one would ever expect such a thing. The inferior competition can’t even complain about that. What are they going to say? “It’s not fair, because he’s already better than we are, and he’s still trying really, really hard.” Ha! Get real!
No one can blame a great coach for being great. Though there will probably never be another football coach, or leader of any team, who is as great as Saban, there will always be certain coaches who are better than others. I’m sure this might seem like a problem to you, if you’re a fan of one of the teams that he continued to dominate, year after year, but that isn’t a college football problem, though, and it certainly wasn’t his problem, that he was just that much better than your guy.
It’s funny that you think that the serious problems being discussed in this video, that will give some teams unfair advantages, that other teams won’t have, and will end up destroying the game, if not fixed in time, somehow makes Coach Saban a hypocrite, because he was better at his job than anyone else. That’s just nuts, honestly, and it really shows that you have no real understanding of the situation.
I guess it should be no surprise, that you seriously believe the GOAT quit, because he “couldn’t compete,” right after his team had just finished going undefeated, in the toughest conference in college football, beating the defending, back to back national champions, to win another championship in that conference, and leading his dynasty back to the playoffs, for the eighth time, in the last 10 years, before losing to the national championship winning team, in overtime.
It just goes to show how far the GOAT set the bar, I guess, for you to think that an OT loss, in the playoff semifinals, means that he could no longer compete. The SEC championship title, the 12 win season, and the top 5 finish, apparently, didn’t live up to the standards he set, in your eyes, and that really does say a lot, regardless of how little you actually understand about the game.
Despite the fact that he had the #1 ranked recruiting class in the country, at the time that he retired, and despite the fact that he was expected to compete for his 8th national championship, in the very next season, he still just had to quit, at the young age of 72, because, as you said, he couldn’t compete. That’s really sad, isn’t it? What a loser! 😂
I mean, sure, a lot of coaches out there would’ve felt like they were pretty competitive, I bet, if they had been in a similar situation, but you make a good point, though, about how amazing of a coach he actually was. Things were a whole lot different in Tuscaloosa, with Saban leading the Tide, than they were anywhere else, clearly.
Only in Alabama, would anything short of a national championship be considered a disappointing season, but, I guess, that’s the downside to being the best in the world for so long. You should feel pretty fortunate, knowing that you’ll never have to experience anything like that.
As a non-Bama fan, you’ll never know what it’s like for your team to be expected to win every game it plays, because it’s better than everyone else, year after year. That must be a huge relief, for an expert of the game, and a real football wizard, such as yourself. Ignorance is bliss, as they say, and, there’s no doubt, you are a truly lucky guy 👍🏿
That's completely idiotic... He worked his whole life and retired as the GOAT. Who are you to even make that statement? Post your resume, and then we can talk...😂
Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
bbd watch the video. You’re the idiot for following the cult. Practice what you preach
