Saban retired because he couldn't hire the coordinators he wanted because they wanted guarantees on how long he would keep coaching and he couldn't give it to them. Also he said the extra work he had to put in because a certain unnamed coordinator couldn't pull his weight almost killed him.

He also specifically said how put out he was about hte players who came to him after the Michigan loss asking about money.

It was as much about NIL as anything else. Saban isn't stupid. He knew we couldn't keep up with Ohio State in NIL.
