Dumb. Alabama was trying to win an SEC Championship and a National Championship.
Who knows if Saban even knew he was retiring after the Auburn game?
What if he announces he is retiring and it causes a huge distraction and players portal out during the December portal period? That sound like something Saban would do?
Why would they portal out in December?
They have 5 days to leave after the end of their last game.

I can tell you didn't play sports. It's hilarious that you think the team was going to spend the time it was preparing for the SECCG and the CFP dealing with the circus of Saban retiring and having conversations with players about who was staying and who was leaving and where I can go get the most money, etc. And yes, I think there would have been some that went ahead and jumped in the portal in December because they would want to secure their bag before some opportunities were gone. This is the new way in college football.
This was always going to happen and should happen after the season, which it did.
It's why pro players and coaches consistently say they aren't talking about/dealing with contract negotiations/future plans until after the season.
