This seems to be a constant theme with his generation. They have roles at the very top of organizations which they acquired in their 40s to early 50s while at the very peak of their performance. Yet they feel entitled to stay in those critical roles long into their 70s when their performance and adaptability has clearly waned.
Alabama offered him a dignified retirement at an appropriate time and he chose to leave stomping his feet like what his generation stereotypes as millennial behavior.
Be a mentor and leave a legacy you can pass on to a new generation of announcers who serve a new generation of fans. Is that too much to ask of someone in their 70s with plenty of money who has held this role for 35+ years? Especially in the entertainment industry where no one should take their status for granted?
So he should've quit working and not pursued other jobs.
Like I said, if he takes the Arena Football League job, everyone knows what happened. Doesn't matter that he doesn't tell anyone it wasn't his idea.

Learfield Sports and the University of Alabama chose a new direction for broadcasting. A direction that does not include Eli Gold behind the mic.
Thank you, Eli for the many years of memories of Tide Sports. May continued good health and fortune be with you sir.

He can do anything he wants. But he is a public figure who seems to care about his legacy as part of the Alabama program during a period of 7 national titles. There was a much better way to do this where he could have stepped down and retired from the Alabama job and then pursued other opportunities. No one would care if he retired and then did some part time arena league work.
Now he will be remembered as the guy who Alabama had to fire because he wasn’t good at his job anymore and who flicked them a double bird on the way out. Goodbye legacy.
