I know, right? If anything he's getting more mellow with age. Even the players have said that.

After the 2026 season at the earliest. So a minimum of 5 more seasons...but I'd say after the 2030 season as long as there aren't any major health issues. Even then he'd still be a year younger than Bowden was his last season.

I didn’t like it. But that was then. And this is now and Bama isn’t quite Bama anymore. Old Nicky will be 71 in October and is getting grumpier every day. These changes to college football aren’t sitting well with him and old folks like him normally don’t like change. Doubt he will stick it out much longer. That lake home in Georgia probably gets better looking to him everyday

Don’t you remember how Bowden’s last teams looked? Not good. Not good at all. They steadily got worse year after year while a stubborn old man hung on until the fans and administration had had enough. Do you really want this for Alabama and the SEC? And Nick

Now that all schools can pay players, and Bama doesn't have that market cornered, he'll prolly quit tomorrow.

Remember when the clempson fans said the very same thing ?

UGA fans are about to have a reality check. UGA will not be winning anymore NC under Coach Smart. When the best UGA team ever can only beat a weakened Alabama squad (that honestly should have won the game) then it is going to be a LONG time between titles for UGA.

My, my, my. Someone sounds defensive. Guess I hit a nerve. Getting a little worried about your chances with grumpy OLD Nicky? I like Georgia’s chances just fine.

- No child, it is just reality that UGA program is more like Auburn's. They too won a NC during Coach Saban's time......

I am glad you like Georgia's chances, I am just surprised given UGA's history

Laughing at YOU.

Bowden was just a figurehead those last couple of years. I don't think Saban will follow that path. Not everyone ages the same.

No they don’t, but Saban is growing more irritable every year. He doesn’t like the new ways in college football and doesn’t like losing. He will have to adapt to both and I don’t think he wants to even try. I doubt he will
stick it out much longer.

You sure weren’t doing much laughing when your hot shot QB choked his dinner all over the field in Indy. That third and OOPS!!! moment was priceless. Heisman boy couldn’t beat a walk-on QB. So I’m laughing at YOU and Bama

Pay me what old grumpy Nick is getting and I’ll be happy to answer any and all questions from the media. And I’d do it with a huge smile on my face

Stetson Bennett is now 1-2 against Bama. He’s got a title so congrats but you really aren’t handling success very well. I know you aren’t used to it.

Grumpy Nick has lost a couple of steps. He’s got two years left tops.
