If Nick Saban has announced his departure from the Alabama Crimson Tide today, that would be significant news in the world of college football.
It’s important to verify this information from reliable news sources or official announcements from the University of Alabama or the Crimson Tide football program.
Coaching changes of this magnitude often generate widespread coverage and discussion within the sports community.
Nick Saban is retiring as the coach of Alabama’s football team after 17 seasons with the program, ending a storied partnership that saw Saban return the Crimson Tide to the top of college football with six national titles in a 12-year span. ESPN first reported the news.
Saban, 72, is the only coach to win seven national titles in the poll era of college football — with one title at LSU to go with the six at Alabama.
He led the Crimson Tide to winning seasons every year since 2008 during his tenure in Tuscaloosa and posted a 16-7 bowl record with the program.
Saban’s latest Alabama team went 12-2 and finished the 2023 season with a 27-20 overtime loss to Michigan — the eventual national champions — in the Rose Bowl.
