re: It surprises me that Saban did it this way!

Saban gave Bama - and college football itself - more than he took. He can go out anyway he wants.

This!

This is the best and most correct statement anyone has made regarding Coach Saban's retirement. And he gave to more than just Bama. He showed LSU that there were more championships to be delivered to Baton Rouge and not to think that 1958 would be the last one.

He's a fine coach and an exceptional person. I haven't heard anything but love for him from his former players at Bama, at LSU, and at Michigan State. His is an example to be followed by those seeking success at any level of life.
