re: It's 2021 and Nick Saban just put in place his 2 year exit plan

I've said it consistently for the past couple of years..

When he was ready to retire, he should leave during the Summer, right before the season starts. Hand the keys over to the OC or DC or AHC and walk away into the sunset.

It is the Bob Stoops to Lincoln Riley plan.

If he had done that this Summer, then Alabama still probably wins 10+ games and probably still makes the playoffs. Then you are looking at a whole different picture.

If they fall on their face, you dump that interim coach and go find a good coach before signing day. If he succeeds, then you are golden.

This is what he should have done.
