ESPN is reporting that Nick Saban is retiring . Love him or hate him , one of the all time greats.

Gonna be a power vacuum...its about to get wild

Eli Drinkwitz to Alabama confirmed.

Dabo

Best college coach EVER!!!
Proud of the fellow West BY GOD Virginian

Definitely the best to ever do it. Congrats on a great career coach.

Hold on it’s about to get wild! And if Harbaugh goes back to the NFL…good lord.

GO APPS!!

The next Bama coach needs to consult Jimbo on what to do when you get fired…..

Getting out at the right time when the recruiting is getting so wild its driving the old guard out. Coach K made the move at the right time too. I'm glad some of these guys are understanding and listening to their better instincts and not trying to hang on too long like Rick Pitino and others.

Heck of a career. Now get out of the swamp and retire back to the mountains.

Rumors will run wild but the guy from Oregon was not my first guess.

It was always my pipe dream that he would leave Alabama and return to WVA to win it's first national championship - don't guess that will ever happen

I wouldn't want to follow Saban. I'd want to follow the dude who followed Saban!

I will be surprised if it is not Lanning, unless he just does not want it. Too many people saying him and he would be a good fit but we will see if he wants it.

I am sure he would take it and a lot of Clemson people would be fine with the move but I would be surprised if Alabama goes to him.

He's got a 20 million buyout, but I guess that doesn't mean much these days.

It sounds like Lanning and Sark are the tier 1 guys, Kiffin and Dabo after that, then maybe a prayer Kirby would leave his own Death Star for another (he won’t).

Isn't Dabo's buyout even larger? I think all the names mentioned so far have a big buyout but Alabama can handle it for sure.

You know you're a baaad man when your rival celebrates your retirement like they just won the natty.

Bama doesn’t want Dabo. He hasn’t shown he can adapt to the new CFB and has struggled in a bad ACC lately.

Lanning makes sense as he was already under Saban and excelled under Kirby at UGA. He knows the SEC and can recruit like crazy.

Kirby will say no, they’ll call Lane-but he’s a head case. My guess is Lanning gets it.

Clark is off limits.

Dabo not an option.
