Exactly. Thank you for speaking sense. Dude is 72 years, and has worked his arse off, ridiculous hours at the office, for years.

He thought about giving it one more go for another year, but decided that even considering just one more year means he should retire now rather than later.

There would never be a perfect time or manner for a legend to leave the game and be replaced. Water’s always going to be rough inevitably after that retirement. But Bama went and hired a hot name coach (who Im excited about) who is putting together a good staff, and now it’s on them. We’ll see how it plays out from here, but Saban didnt owe anybody anything in regards to how he exited.
