"Way down in Alabama where they love Nick Saban", well so do I and I'm a SOONER fan. No matter who you cheer for on Saturdays, you can't help but acknowledge what this man has accomplished. GOAT status all day! Go and enjoy retirement COACH SABAN, you deserve it.
As an LSU fan it’s a very bitter sweet moment. Happy that we won’t have to play a Saban team next year; but in the same breath, now you can’t have “beat Saban’s bama” as an accomplishment/goal of the season.
Nailed it. What he gave us and began again at LSU is something I’ll always be thankful for. I don’t know what our metric is going to be now as I always knew we could contend when we beat Saban.
Crazy respect for the way you went about this show. Not talking about who the next head coach would be. Just 30+ minutes of giving Saban his due credit. Well done sir.
I am a 32 year old lifelong Alabama fan. The man has coached the Tide for half my life. 16 years ago I told my dad I never thought I would see Alabama beat Auburn again much less win a national championship in my lifetime. Thank you Coach Saban for all the memories. Roll Tide Roll.
I am a lifelong gator fan. As soon as Alabama hired Saban I knew they were going to be dominant. After what he did with LSU, it was just a matter of time.
Too many signs there to not see it. 17 million on a house in Florida. Co-owning 2 Mercedes car lots...in Florida, both before the season started. Also, right after losing to Michigan, he stated that this team will be the one he remembers the most. Really wasn't much worth remembering this team other than Will Reichard.
I am a UGA fan. If you are even remotely a fan of college football, you understand the importance of this moment. Nick Saban was so much more than a coach. This man changed young mens lives. The greatest college football coach and a top 5 coach in all of sports ever. Living legend. Enjoy retirement coach!
thank you Dawg, appreciate your great compliments of Saban, We were so very lucky to have him and his wife at UA and he definitely was a GOAT and it's a very shocking and sad day for all of Bsma Nation but now he can relax at his lake house and enjoy his family and grandchildren. Bama vs Georgia was the game everyone couldn't wait for. Thank you Dawg 😅
THANK YOU to Coach Saban and Miss Terry for all the wonderful things that you have done for Alabama...the team and the whole state. We love you. We want the best for you.
Thank you Coach Saban for everything you have done for all the players, coaches and the entire fanbase. He restored the finest traditions of winning football and championships. He personally provided four generations in family the greatest gift of witnessing Alabama win multiple national championships. A feat that other fanbases could only dream of. Thank you for some of the best years of Alabama Football!!!!
So it’s my freshman year at Bama (2016) and my parents are visiting for the first time and my mom wanted to go to morning Mass at St. Francis! It was my first time since I had been in college, so we decided to sit in the back and about five minutes in two people shuffled in next to us without me paying much attention until my dad (a diehard Georgia fan and alumni) said “holy shit” and wouldn’t you know I looked over to see Saban and Ms Terry sitting right next to us! They both chuckled and my dad ended up apologizing, and we got to speak with him a bit during thanks before communion!
So fitting that this news is big enough for the first ever Late Kick emergency show. GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Chances are, I will say that even 50 years from now.
As a lifelong AU fan who’s been tired of this man terrorizing us for years, the game will miss him. There’s never been anyone like him and there’ll never be another. War Eagle coach and happy retirement
He always showed respect toward my Razorbacks. We never beat him. If you're a SEC fan then you'll fully understand what I'm about to say I'll miss him because it won't be the same without him. I wish him a healthy life and hope he's able to catch a lot of fish.
Get ready for reality. You’re going to enjoy the norm of being an Auburn fan very soon. The only 2 times Auburn hasn’t been the better team is when Bama had Bear and Saban. 😎
Thank You for 17 great seasons of Alabama football Coach Saban, the legacy of your standard will live on forever because of the many lives you have touched throughout your career. I wish for you a long and healthy retirement and hope that you enjoy the rest of your life. Long live The GOAT!!! Roll Tide!!!
Came to T-Town in 2007 and woke a sleeping giant. 206-29, 6 nattys. I feel fortunate to have watched both Bear and Saban roam the sidelines. Roll Tide forever.
Thank you for sharing how Coach Saban impacted your life. I think he will be happy to hear (if you haven't already told him) about another person who his philosophy has helped.
I feel so fortunate as an Alabama alumnus and football fan as I attended when Coach Bryant was there and lived to see this amazing Saban Alabama Dynasty. In addition to enjoying the teams’ success over the Saban tenure, I have always been so impressed with his development of players, his caring for Alabama and the entire sport of College Football as well as the amazing things he, Ms. Terry & his foundation have done for so many people in Tuscaloosa and the entire state of Alabama. I hope and pray that Coach Saban and his entire family are in good health and he gets to enjoy more amazing times as a husband, father, grandfather and son. After some long overdue family time, I suspect he will get involved in a less time-demanding role to protect and help the sport he loves. Thank you so much Coach Saban for every second you spent at Alabama! As Josh noted, there is a lot of toxic stuff happening in college football that could have accelerated his retirement plans but I mostly hope that he and his family are happy. Roll Tide 🐘!
Thank you to Miss Terry and Coach Saban for everything you have done for college football, the state of Alabama, and for youth sports in general. God bless, Roll Tide, and may The Process continue!
ROLL TIDE, Coach Saban, words CANNOT describe our appreciation and thanks for what you have done for Bama Nation and thank you for sharing your great family with us. Enjoy your retirement Coach and you are a legend for ever. 🐘 🐘 🐘 ❤❤❤🐘 Crimson4Life ....
Good words, Josh. Coach, thanks for the joy and pride you brought back to 'Bama. May you future be as remarkable and fulfilling for you and Miss Terry as your past has been. Roll Tide Roll !!!
I just told my brother yesterday that Saban is going to retire this week. Even though I've been a Michigan fan for over 55 years, Saban is my favorite coach. He's always been a no bullshit coach. I've been following him coach since 1980 when he was with Ohio State. Always wished he could have been Michigan's head coach every time Michigan's head coach position opened up. Sad to see him go. 💔
I was stunned when my son told me the news. I didn't believe him until he showed me all the posts. Coach Saban is and will always be the GOAT !! God bless him & his family! ROLL TIDE!! 🐘🐘🐘🐘
As a 53 year old Tennessee guy, I too was lucky enough to see the Bear and Coach Saban kick Tennessee's ass. I guess i speaking to those that are my age or older: No matter where your loyalty may lie, we've been fortunate to see two of the greatest to ever coach the game. Thanks to The Bear and especially Coach Saban, Thanks for the memories. Now, who do you think can fill his shoes? A VOL Fan, but, also A Nick Saban Fan.....
i’m at a loss for words. Thank you nick saban for making my football team good and letting me experience 6 national championships. i wish you nothing but the best
Wow!! After listening to you on this I'm waiting for so many more stories to emerge from so many places and corners - nooks and crannies - of people like you who have been positively influenced by this legend.
Dude, this was so well put together, organized and thoughtful. Also learned more about you as a person. I went to Bama and I am devastating. Thank you for the entire podcast..RTR
At 51 years old and a lifelong Bama fan. I remember seeing Bear Bryant's last game ever. I've watched all the coaches, before Saban got there, come and go. I've supported the Tide through dark times and good times. I'm glad I got to witness Saban and what he did at Bama. Enjoy retirement coach, thank you and ROLL TIDE!
You nailed it, Josh. I’m 54 and I remember the days of Alabama’s mediocrity. Saban made Bama relevant again. Even the GREATS- Bryant, Bowden, Paterno, Osborne, Spurrier, Hayes, and others- cannot compare. Go Dawgs!!
A 45 plus year Alabama fan starting with the great teams of the 1978,1979. Thank you Coach Saban for elevating Alabama Football to a higher level! Enjoy your well earned retirement with Miss Terry!
This was one of your best videos. Really enjoyed you sharing that moment you listen to Saban. Will definitely miss that guy. College football has a big hole now.
Thank you coach. Greatest in the history of this sport we all love. Turned a program from nothing into a dynasty, and handed it over still a powerhouse with a chance to contend next year
The barns rolling the corner is probably the greatest show of what Saban meant to the state of Alabama! They were celebrating but they know with every roll thrown it was a show of respect for Saban.
When I became a Bama fan Coach Bear Bryant was the coach. After Coach Bryant retired the program had some highs but certainly plenty of lows. When Coach Saban came on the program was restored to its glory. We’ve enjoyed an amazing run with Coach Saban, but the time has sadly come for him to call it a day and focus on his family. He’s earned that a million times over and I wish him luck. I also wish the AD luck in finding the right person to be the successor. Coach Saban left plenty of tools for success in the toolbox and a GREAT blueprint for success going forward. Thank you for all your efforts and dedication Coach Saban !!! RTR
Greatest coach of any sport of all time!! Great job Josh Pate in giving The GOAT the best salute!! I agree He showed all of us how to process , whether in Sports, business, ministry or life !! Thank you for the great Bama times and the Best in your future!!
Great Job today Josh!! I will truly miss Coach Saban. I am truly a die hard Alabama Fan and will support the team no matter what.. Keep up the GREAT WORK you are doing.. Roll Tide Roll!!!
Long time Clemson fan, definitely remember when Stallings held Alabama up to a standard, then of course the not so great years, but unlike Clemson, when Saban was hired you knew Alabama was bound for something unprecedented. Coach Saban you are as Rick Flare would say, the Myth, the Man, the Legend! To be the man you gotta beat the man, and when my Tigers got our two titles against the team coached by the Legend, that’s Championships that I can say yes we earned those the hard way! Coach God Bless ya! Didn’t see this coming, thank you for making Alabama fun to watch, but nervous as heck to play against! Enjoy Retirement, you definitely deserve it Coach!
Thank you Josh for your take. You are spot on and I think you have a better grasp of the game and the subtleties around it than anyone in broadcasting. I understand completely why Coach Saban the GOAT was done with the game. Relationships don't mean as much as they used to , and that's what he was always about. It was what he loved. I am fortunate that I was able to witness both Bear Bryant and Nick Saban coach my favorite team. It's a privilege afforded to very few.
I take Sabin at his word for his retirement reasons. His people skills , candor, integrity, and selflessness to his program and players helped him endure. Knowing how to win football and all life's games made him the best.
Congrats on your 'retirement' coach. Of course I have absolutely no idea where your future endeavors may take you but whatever it is, I'm certain you'll make the most of it; exactly the way you have since stepping foot into our great state of Alabama. Roll Tide Roll Coach!!!
What drew people to watch Alabama football? People who weren't really Alabama faithful. It was watching greatness in action and people are drawn to greatness. Thanks for the memories Coach! Best wishes.
Tennessee fan here.... Remember that scene in Anchorman when Vince Vaughn nearly pushed Will Ferrell off the ladder back into the bear pit but says "Damnit do I respect you" and let's him up. That's my feelings on Nick Saban. Greatest to ever do it.
I am a die hard Bama fan, was diagnosed with cancer 5 years ago,given a 30 percent chance to live 6 months and my first thought was I won’t be able to watch Bama this season and I have got to watch a National Championship a Sec Championship since,truly blessed as a fan,thank you Nick Saban for bringing this championship mentality no quit,Enjoy your Retirement Coach,God bless to all
Josh, this is my first time viewing your channel, and I'm more motivated to achieve my personal goals. Thank you for this! Saban will be missed in the CFB landscape for sure, but retirement is well deserved!❤❤
I am a Kiwi who has followed Alabama for many years. It is sad that Nick Saban has retired, as he is the best, but I do think that the future for Bama is exciting, and I can't wait for the new season to start.
I saw this coming. Nick told me last week he wanted to make a surprise splash in the media. South Carolina had a TE position open up and he just couldn’t resist the urge to come to Columbia
Josh, im from Columbus so when you speak on C-town, ie streets and demographics, i can relate. But i digress, bcs i just wanted to say you are always spot on with your analysis/breakdown of sports, namely the college game. You are 1 of a few sports shows that i love listening to and a big fan of bcs you arent a 'homer', or choose favorites, you can just discuss and deliver great show after show, so yes, i agree with you, you do have a God given talent in this industry. I come back each week, sometimes more often, to listen. Thanks for this show and delivering with such passion and understanding!
first year i followed college football was the year before nick saban was hc at alabama. my friends were alabama fans and yes it was worlds different from what nick saban got it to today. truly the goat.
Keep the show free - SUBSCRIBE to the channel and LIKE the video. - JP
The end of the PAC-12
The end of the 4 Team CFP
The end of the Saban Era
Man this really is gonna be a whole new era of College Football.
"Way down in Alabama where they love Nick Saban", well so do I and I'm a SOONER fan. No matter who you cheer for on Saturdays, you can't help but acknowledge what this man has accomplished. GOAT status all day! Go and enjoy retirement COACH SABAN, you deserve it.
Welcome to the SEC! Happy to have you!
Well said my friend.
From a longtime Alabama fan: Thank you, Josh. That was a fantastic way to cover what may end up being a landmark moment in the history of the sport.
As an LSU fan it’s a very bitter sweet moment. Happy that we won’t have to play a Saban team next year; but in the same breath, now you can’t have “beat Saban’s bama” as an accomplishment/goal of the season.

I’m 38, so when I started understanding football in middle/high school was the Franchione/Price/Schula times with bowl bans..
All hail Saban
I relate to to this comment so much that words can't describe. Long live the GOAT
Fear the Thumb Brent….gives ptsd aye
Coach Saban, it’s been an honor to witness your greatness!
Not gonna lie I didn’t see this coming. Appreciate everything Coach, it has been one hell of a ride 🫡
Been leaking all year
People been screaming this since before the season started. The man’s demeanor changed, it was obvious.
Not gonna lie after the SECCG and Bama jumping into the CFP. I knew 1000%.
Too many signs there to not see it. 17 million on a house in Florida. Co-owning 2 Mercedes car lots...in Florida, both before the season started. Also, right after losing to Michigan, he stated that this team will be the one he remembers the most. Really wasn't much worth remembering this team other than Will Reichard.

LOL celebrating your rival coach retiring. The ultimate respect!

GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Chances are, I will say that even 50 years from now.
I hope with every fiber of my being that Coach Saban isn’t ill. I hope he has decades of joy, health and happiness ahead of him.
His wife hopefully is healthy as well.

Should have retired 5 years ago lol
@@spidaman0112He won a national championship 3 years ago and came damn close to 2 others? Why you being a douchebag for?
Good job, Josh. We Bama fans are going to miss him. I'm in shock.
Waiting on an asteroid to hit Tuscaloosa next.
Josh is a fan right there with you buddy. He’s hurt too
Next stage is denial.
One of the moments in history you always remember where you were when it happened.
I was in attendance in 2006 when Arkansas beat Alabama, then Nick Saban gets hired. Winless against the goat. Farewell Coach.
Can't help but acknowledge the Goat. Happy Retirement Saban. Broke my heart for fifteen years every third Saturday.
Nick needs to be the Commissioner of the new governing body to replace the NCAA.
Lsu fan here… 100% agree
This is crazy as a younger auburn fan. Saban and Bama are synonymous in my mind.
Get ready for reality. You’re going to enjoy the norm of being an Auburn fan very soon. The only 2 times Auburn hasn’t been the better team is when Bama had Bear and Saban. 😎

well the worst is yet to come stay tuned
I too got to watch the Bear,... never dreamed we would see another coach like him. We did and we are blessed. RTR!!
@sovereign6445 you're saying this as DeBoer is killing it on the recruiting trail lmao
I'm not equipped to deal with this... this is CRAZY !! I'll miss him SOOOOO Much !!! ROLL TIDE ROLL 🐘🐘
Same
I'm a Tennessee fan and I'll just say this....Nick Saban is the greatest coach there ever was or will be.

Before big games I watch the Saban introductory speech from 2007. Coached high school for 10 years. Very powerful

Man, that is a tough on. I can't disagree, but you you still have John Wooden who won 10 championships in 12 years. Good arguments for both though!
Greatest coach of any sport of all time? I don't know about that.... it's a lot of great coaches in each sport, so that's hard to say
Great Job today Josh!! I will truly miss Coach Saban. I am truly a die hard Alabama Fan and will support the team no matter what.. Keep up the GREAT WORK you are doing.. Roll Tide Roll!!!

Be easy, Coach. Thank you for everything.

Well thank you very much...super excited. Not knocking any team but I'm ready to see some new competition!
What Saban achieved in his career will never be seen again in our lifetimes. The bar has been set.
This is great! Sent to my grandson today whom I talked to about this very thing! You're awesome! Go Hogs!
Thank you, Josh. Well done ..and said.
I'm just glad he gave us all the years he did ROLL SABAN ROLL
Greatest coach ever! A remarkable run. Raised college football to new heights! Thanks, Nick!
I saw this coming. Nick told me last week he wanted to make a surprise splash in the media. South Carolina had a TE position open up and he just couldn’t resist the urge to come to Columbia
Sir you have become one of the Best !
Josh, im from Columbus so when you speak on C-town, ie streets and demographics, i can relate. But i digress, bcs i just wanted to say you are always spot on with your analysis/breakdown of sports, namely the college game. You are 1 of a few sports shows that i love listening to and a big fan of bcs you arent a 'homer', or choose favorites, you can just discuss and deliver great show after show, so yes, i agree with you, you do have a God given talent in this industry. I come back each week, sometimes more often, to listen. Thanks for this show and delivering with such passion and understanding!
first year i followed college football was the year before nick saban was hc at alabama. my friends were alabama fans and yes it was worlds different from what nick saban got it to today. truly the goat.
Josh is so good at what he does,one of the best in the business.
Thank You for so quickly posting Insightful Spontaneous Commentary.

Enjoy them Little Debbie's and fishing lures Coach, you've earned it ☝️
