It all started several decades ago. Coaches began getting paid way more than they are worth. Then they get fired some of them and take millions upon millions with them. Saban did not get fired but look how much he was paid. These players come in from depressed situations and wanted to know “were is my piece of the pie “Don’t give me that crap of value to the school these coaches claim. In the 60’s I remember stadiums were full and people buying all the paraphernalia. Saban is part of the problem. Period.

I think it was obvious he was going to coach one more year, because of the returning players he just missed out on a title with in 2023, if they hold on vs. Mich. they beat Wash. pretty easy.
So, during the season, I think he was 50/50 then they went on a run, not a great team, but they pulled together, so he felt I can build this team further, then the NIL (not the NIL per se, but the players demanding this or that, NIL was supposed to be an individual them, not a team product) became a YOU OWE US MORE, and so he just was like, that made, my mind up.

I think he hated what football had become. But he still won a frickton in those last 3 years so credit to him for being good even as the game changed.

I bet he’s making a pretty good percentage of the $11.4 mln he made in 2023 doing Game Day. Half maybe? It’s surely multi-million/yr. And what? A few hours of prep, then the show taping. Maybe one night a week away from home? Pretty good gig.
And let’s face it. The man is good at it too. He earns it. I could watch him break down game film for three hours. His knowledge of the game is unbelievable. All facets of it.
