Everybody Seems To Think They Know What Nick Saban’s Next Job Will Be After Retiring

Nick Saban is calling it a career. The longtime Alabama head coach told his team on Wednesday that he was retiring.

Saban won six national championships with Alabama and one with LSU. His seven titles are the most by any coach in college football history.

So now that the 72-year-od doesn’t have to run up and down the sidelines yelling at his players and at refs, what is up next for him?

Some seem to think he is headed for television.

The magnitude of this cannot be overstated. Could see a seismic shift in College Football. Coach Saban will have his pick of tv jobs if he's interested https://t.co/jUFm3xVTzI

I'm kind of down on D1 college football in general, but had a terrific time in Tuscaloosa back in 2010 to see the Tide play Florida, so I find myself surprisingly sympathetic to this analysis. I hope Saban enjoys his inevitable TV gig. https://t.co/iedWPYlzoi

Saban retiring shouldn’t be a surprise. The changing landscape in college football was too much to deal with ultimately. He’ll just do TV now and keep making a seven figure salary. Surprising news nonetheless.

Saban spent 17 seasons at Alabama and built one of the best programs in the sport’s history in Tuscaloosa. He won six national championships there, three of which came in the College Football Playoff era.

What turned out to be his final season, Saban led the Crimson Tide back to the playoff this year, though they fell to Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

Saban compiled a career college record of 297-71-1. If he does not unretire, he’ll finish at No. 5 on the all-time win list, 112 wins behind all-time leader Joe Paterno.
