Nick Saban Retirement Rumors: Championship Might Push The Decision

Alabama, led by Nick Saban, defeated Kansas State in the Allstate Sugar Bowl to finish the season with an 11-2 record. Alabama had one of the toughest football schedules in the NCAA, with road games against Ole Miss, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and LSU.

Nick Saban Retirement Rumors: Championship Might Push The Decision

Alabama has suffered two losses this season. The Tide lost an overtime thriller versus LSU in Baton Rouge. They have only dropped more than one game throughout the regular season twice since 2010. Alabama was denied a chance at the title this year.

Put aside your flawed reasoning and the insane notion of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis regarding a possible baseless lawsuit against the College Football Playoff selection committee. He also recklessly spent $1 million that he had set aside for a potential lawsuit.

The governor must not realize that much of his in-state constituency was delighted with FSU not making it.

There will be no quick retirement for Nick Saban. It was disclosed by Saban himself that he has no intention of hanging up his whistle anytime soon. He declared:

“I kind of enjoy the grind of the week and preparing for the game, getting ready for the game, setting up the gameplan, doing all that just as much as the game itself,” Saban said. “I certainly wouldn’t ever want to ride the program down if I didn’t feel like I was doing a good job.”

After Travis was sidelined, Alabama (12-1) easily earned their spot at No. 4 after defeating both Georgia (12-0) and the top team in the country on Saturday night. The lone defeat came against Texas in September, as the team finished third at 12-1 against No. 2 Washington (13-0) and No. 1 Michigan (13-0). Additionally, Jalen Milroe, the quarterback for Alabama, is healthy and developing into a very excellent player over time.

That makes sense since, since the College Football Playoffs began in the 2014–15 season, Alabama has only failed to qualify twice. Additionally, Nick Saban, the coach of Alabama, has set a college football record with seven national titles at Alabama since 2009, including one at LSU in the 2003 campaign.

The likelihood of Saban announcing his retirement shortly after will increase if he wins his seventh national championship on January 8 in Houston at the age of 72. After defeating No. 1 Michigan on January 1 (5 p.m., ESPN), Alabama will face the winner of the second New Year’s Day semifinal between No. 3 Texas and No. 2 Washington in Houston on January 8 (8 p.m., ESPN).

What better farewell than an eighth national title for Nick Saban? And what a perfect trio of triumphs he could cap off!

How successful is Nick Saban?

Including a 194-27 (.878) record at Tuscaloosa, Saban has amassed a 285-69-1 (.804) record in his 27 seasons as a collegiate head coach. In addition to his seven national championships (2003 at LSU), he has ten SEC crowns (2001, 2003 at LSU) and eight SEC championships with his teams at Alabama.
