Sure, all of that, but also I’m sure he hates the direction college ball is heading and that played a past in his decision.

If true and hope it’s not Mrs Terry was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in August. Against that’s message board insiders so don’t know if it’s true. Hope not she and Nick have done a tremendous amount for Tuscaloosa.

Not even the worst troll on this board would wish for the man's wife to be in poor health.

The rumor that the OP is alluding to is that Terry Saban was diagnosed with Alzheimer's back in August.

Seeing someone you love suffer from Alzheimer's is a terrible thing to go through and I pray the rumor isn't true.

It makes me curious why he decided to retire after a playoff loss.

Why would Saban retire after a national championship? Winning sustains him. If Saban kept winning he would coach until the day he dies.

Saban was always going to retire when he couldn’t win national championships anymore. He feels like that time has come.

Vacation homes aren't $17.5 million bud. Even when you are worth $100 mil that's a huge home.

Not sure what kind of planning is needed when you’re worth probably $100 million.


Maybe to you.

But this is Saban who built that fortune sweating every detail. I doubt he’s leaving anything to chance now. It’s all been planned.

I think most feel this way.

But some will celebrate it on here if it is true.

Based on you just finding out? Good thing you have a direct line to the Bama AD and Saban.

Stupid speculation

He has an 11 million lake house bud. When you make the kind of coin he has, then yeah you do

Looking at things he bought is not a sign he was obviously retiring

Yep, I read that a bit ago today. Terrible. Everyone loved her when they were in Baton Rouge.

He was interviewing replacement coaching hires in his staff today and also participated in the weekly SEC coaches teleconference and was an active participant in discussions. There was zero indications this was coming today.
