What a great coach. I’m a huge Auburn fan and still have the balls to show some respect where it’s due. Hope he enjoys retirement he’s got nothing to be ashamed about at all. Michigan was just better. Pretty sure he was gone after this year either way.
As a USC fan, nothing but respect to Coach Saban and what he’s done for the Alabama football team. Absolute power house of a coach and his record shows for it. Well deserved retirement and wish him nothing but the best for years to come!
@@trevd2087 I know Saban is up there looking down and smiling at all the well wishes. Up there in a plane, as he is still very much alive, but perhaps tired. RIP, at least until you catch up on your sleep, very much alive Nick Saban.
As a Wolverine, I have nothing for respect and admiration for Nick Saban. He is an icon in college football and an all time great. I cannot think of anyone that can fill his shoes for the Tide.
Im a life long Bama fan & i expected this to happen. The good old days are over for sure. Buckle up Bama fans , because next season starts a bumpy & brutal ride.
SEC nowhere near dead for 1. And as an LSU fan, ever since he left us to try to coach in the NFL and then went to Bama?! I’ve been waiting on this day. Respect for what he has done but I feel nothing but relief 😂
Well I'm glad he's gone too and was an Alabama fan until he marched with BLM so I'm glad he Gone he was stuck on himself anyhow I don't care how many national championships he won Bear Bryant held the record on that and Bear Bryant wasn't stuck on himself believe me I know I did cut Bear Bryant's yard for two years as a young teenager 13 and 14 years old so I knew him personally and he wasn't stuck on himself
The funny thing about the Bama Nation is that we won't remember that game even if we had won it. But when teams beat Bama, it becomes a watershed moment, a defining moment, an event that fans make t-shirts about. Bama fans move on because our expectations are so high, which is not really a good thing. Bama fans never rush the field or celebrate widely, even after a NC Win. That is the difference between a Bama fan and everybody else. Unfortunately, that may have just ended for a while. Or we may find another coach who can take us back to the SEC Championship. Coach Saban was right in that the NIL will change the NCAA going forward. I suspect he didn't want anything to do with it (among other things). The BAMA Nation will miss Coach Saban. UA will name a street or a building after him. But Bama will move on and become successful again. It was a hell of a run. Roll Tide. And congratulations to the University of Michigan Football Team.
The fact that Nick Saban is retiring and I have been in Alabama fan roughly the same amount of time that Nick Saban has been winning championships at Alabama see him walk away from the game has the greatest Collegiate coach of all time and to have rotted team that was struggling to almost a national championship show even at the very end of his career he was still in it to the very end I will always be thankful that Nick Saban was our head coach and he brought us so much success and joy over the years and I hope he has a fantastic retirement all of his Ferraris
@@duhdoy08 they would not have beaten Georgia y’all couldn’t beat tcu look what we did to them we are a powerhouse and we run college football plus we had injured players against bama and the refs didn’t help in especially considering there paid
@@blakeroark6017 That argument is weak. Comparing last years teams to this years teams is comparing last years model of a car to this years. Different cars. Different teams. You get one shot each game to be the better team. On Dec 2, 2023, in Atlanta, Georgia failed to be the best when it counted. Since teams don't play everyone, you have to take what has been placed to before you and win that game. Michigan played Alabama this year and not Georgia. Why? Because Georgia lost to Alabama. Speculating the "but if only..." is a fools errand as it is in the past and will never happen. You want to claim to be the best you have to prove it every week. Michigan had to play thru a slew of injuries against Ohio State. They won. After their o-lineman went out, that game could have easily turned in OSU's favor but it didn't. Georgia's injuries are not an excuse. Refs are not an excuse. Play above the bad calls. If Kirby can't get his team to do that, well, then, they will lose to Alabama...and they did.
He was a great coach!!! His wife is sick, that's why he is retiring.. He said maybe I will be back.... Best of luck on your retirement... God Bless your wife, at this difficult time.... 🙏🙏🙏... 🌹🌹🌹...
I feel your pain 'real' Alabama fans.As an FSU fan I hated seeing Bobby go. Temper the expectations for the next man up because replacing Saban is no small task.
Michigan didn’t kill the SEC. Saban left because of the NIL,12-team playoffs,the transfer portal,and the SEC realignment! He became frustrated with these sudden changes and just got tired of it and left
I can’t seem to find your name listed on Michigans Student Athlete or Coaching Staff roster. So explain to me how YOU went to battle against him. Because as far as I know you didn’t do a damn thing to prepare for that game
Dave, I would have lost $100k had you accepted my wager and thanks for not accepting. Also, thank you for the kind words and respect to one of the greatest achievers in all of sports history. Congrats to your team for the year you had as well.
A business is only as good as its employees just like a movie is only as good as its actors, and Hollywood is only as good as its movies! Saban did a great job but he also had some clear advantages. He only built on the great solid foundation that was already laid! Whomever, comes after you should always be better because they have the blueprint!
Joe Paterno may he R.I.P. had 409 wins 117 more then Nick and 5 more bowl games then nick he was a great coach no doubt but there is alot of other good coaches too
According to my mother's friends who know the sabans Mrs Terry was diagnosed with Dementia this past year. Im sure that's the reason he retired. He wants to spend time with her while she is still aware of her surroundings and her semi normal self. Idk when Nick will share with public.
Michigan just continues to get more and more on the tippity top every day after the Natty, GO BLUE!!! I digress, an absolute loss losing the best coach in college football history. Sad day…
The only 2 Michigan wins in the playoffs were the sec, but like 6 previous losses to the sec in post season. Pitiful Natty to play in. Should have played Georgia
@@stevebrown2145 oh I'm not a Georgia fan. I'm a TN fan. And no you wouldn't have crushed GA. But Michigan finally won after how many years of having no business in the playoffs? Pretty embarrassing
boohoo ... one season he can't win it all and poof gone! He saw TX and OK moving in and GA becoming a beast. Auburn looking good ... he is running. buh bye now
Belichick isnt the greatest coach, he had Tom Brady who was a man everybody on those teams would run through a wall for.....they didnt run through walls for Bill it was for Tom.
Not a Alabama fan but y'all didn't kill the SEC. National Championship will always go through SEC one way are another every year period. Get off your soap box.
Killed the SEC with one game? Like, yall didn't get donkey stomped by Georgia last time yall saw an SEC team? I get that yall won and are on top of the world, but lets be real.
Youre fucking hilarious and this means no hate but this is why I could never become a Michigan fan even living in the state 😂😂 even when they’re bad they act like they are the best and now they got to a title after 25+ years already acting like they’re not just another one off team like Oregon, Ohio, auburn, Miami, etc. 😂😂
Alabama won't be the same without him.
No shit lol
The sky is blue
Uh ya think??? Nobody is winning 6 national titles in 17 seasons. Only Saban can do that. Wow.
Wow you must be some kind of psychic
That's what they said after Bear Bryant and Gene Stallings as well. Bama will always be Bama. Roll Tide.

The Rose Bowl was the NC. Saban took a really good #1 ranked Michigan team to overtime. Guy has been doing it forever. Roll Tide.

Back to the late 90s 😢😢😢

Why do u like Alabama? U better say u live there or you went to school there .....
Can’t kill the sec till you beat the best Go Dawgs
Bama better than y’all 🤣🤣🤣

Fucking hate Bama but thats because of how strong Saban made that team. Insane.
I may not respect hardly any Crimson Tide fans, but I respect Saban.
As a lifelong LSU fan. I’m so so so heartbroken to see him go 😭🫣🙏😂
I bet you are.
Decomits and transfers. LSU, COLORADO will take em😂😂
SEC ain’t goin anywhere pal
That makes our rose bowl win even better, he is one of the best if not the best. Enjoy retirement
Dude yall didn’t kill the SEC. You will see in the 12 team. Michigan had a great year. But sustain it when Harbaugh hits the NFL
Tht shirt is not on the page and I’m tryna get it , ima die hard Michigan fan
No way, you know his daughter?!? You the man
Won’t be another coach to get 6 titles again for a while. At least we all got to witness the best coach in college football history.
Dave realizes he’s not on the team, right? He says “we” a lot.
A huge loss for the college football community. He's an amazing coach. I wish him well in retirement.
Go Blue!
I feel your pain 'real' Alabama fans.As an FSU fan I hated seeing Bobby go. Temper the expectations for the next man up because replacing Saban is no small task.
Bro saying he went to battle against him 😂. Dave wants his chips with tha dip
Saban is old bro he probably wants to enjoy his life with his wife, Michigan aint killed the SEC they beat a struggling Alabama in OT.
I would retire too, if I couldn’t be Michigan
Retired the GOAT! wow!
Without Alabama carry in the conference the SEC is it gonna be on the same level as the big 10 now
What planet are u on?
Pete Carol is going to Bama@@benbaker4749
Such a dumb post.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Hell yeah lol
need more men vs boys hoodies dave
NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Retire Coaches Tour!!!
Parties over..Graduating 3/4 of the team, NCAA, Booger to Bolts...Michigan Thanos snapped..Cost them everything going forward.
Michigan didn’t kill the SEC. Saban left because of the NIL,12-team playoffs,the transfer portal,and the SEC realignment! He became frustrated with these sudden changes and just got tired of it and left
Nobody can kill the SEC
🫡 Best wishes for retirement to Nick Saban. From a Michigan fan.
At least Sabins not a cheater

SEC 😂

SEC will be back on top next season...fukoutahere with that crap😂
Loss to Tennessee put the first nail in that coffin
Saban easily number 1 for college. Id say Bobby Bowden and paul bryant next
How about ESPN banning Aaron Rogers.......thoughts??????
Lane Kiffin: “Roll Tide!” 🐘
Feels like a death
Congratulations coach you needed that. now I will retire with you and watch no more football. There will be saying no more. #RTR .
He does look tired. Good luck in your endeavors, sir.
🎉🎉🎉
Wow
I’m just glad my vols won’t have to face his coaching ever again
Dude you didn't kill the sec and you will NEVER be able to tie Nick's shoes.... Michigan is a one hit wonder.... RMFT
You damn right! I don’t know what ole boy is smoking. Roll Tide❤
Dave,he was one of the DIRTIEST coaches ever despite what you feel about him. You know they paid players.
Good
A business is only as good as its employees just like a movie is only as good as its actors, and Hollywood is only as good as its movies! Saban did a great job but he also had some clear advantages. He only built on the great solid foundation that was already laid! Whomever, comes after you should always be better because they have the blueprint!
The big question is who will they get to replace him
Joe Paterno may he R.I.P. had 409 wins 117 more then Nick and 5 more bowl games then nick he was a great coach no doubt but there is alot of other good coaches too
Alabama will relive the late 90s again😢😢😢😢
Can you look through that crystal ball of yours and give me the numbers for the next lottery?
Killed the SEC? Georgia stomped your ass 2021.
what happened to the good merch
According to my mother's friends who know the sabans Mrs Terry was diagnosed with Dementia this past year. Im sure that's the reason he retired. He wants to spend time with her while she is still aware of her surroundings and her semi normal self. Idk when Nick will share with public.
Killed the SEC??? HOW?
This is actually Davey rubbing it in some more. "Respectfully"
Michigan retired Nick Saban say what you really mean Dave
Dabo Swinney will be Alabama new head coach.
Am I the only one who thinks it's poetic that his last game was an L to Michigan? #GoBlue #LittleBrother
Of course you'll remember 1 million smackaroos...
Texas put that boot on Bama and he said I'm good, I've done enough lmao
You mean the same Texas team they got stopped by a below average Washington team?
Michigan just continues to get more and more on the tippity top every day after the Natty, GO BLUE!!! I digress, an absolute loss losing the best coach in college football history. Sad day…
He always ran a elite program
He did not retire because of Michigan
The tide turned…Harbaugh retires another spartan
Killed the SEC??? 😂😂😂
Damn that’s a surprise.. now if Harbaugh goes to NFL , no legendary coaches will be left
Kirby Smart and Dabo Sweeney
Pres always a gent
