re: Saban admits that he was contemplating decision up until 5 minutes before team meeting

Saban was going to leave sooner or later. He basically said he was concerned he wouldn’t be able to continue performing up to his own expectations due to his age and ability to keep up.

It’s better for him to leave now while the program is in good shape than to wait for the bottom to fall out then leave a mess.

He deserves to go out how and when he wants to without any criticism for it. He had a huge affect on all of college football, not many coaches can say that.

I have a feeling he’ll help all he can to make the transition as smooth as possible.
