In this 7 minute clip, you see why he’s the GOAT. Even gives a nod to Tiger Stadium being the closest thing to Heaven….

Great speech...and he looks like he could have coached another 5 years without slowing down...but he deserves to enjoy those millions in retirement. Unlike most coaches, he earned his millions.

Fantastic speech. Glad he took the time on that. Most people wouldn’t have

That wasn't a "shot" at LSU fans but certainly wasn't complimentary. Good to see 2 Bama greats introduce him.

He makes a great point about doing something for others every day. I will do my good deed for the day by reminding everyone that Nick Saban created the LSU football program before leaving for greener pastures.

Wow, crazy quote. This would drive me nuts if I was an LSU fan. What could have been!

98.3 percent of LSU fans believe Saban left LSU and was directly hired by Alabama. That is why they suddenly started disliking Alabama overnight.

Before this, their fans and players and mascot for decades had worshiped Alabama and treated Bear Bryant like a God on Earth when he regularly came to BR to beat the living hell out of the Tigers.

It's a game that has no effect on my life, so why would it "drive me nuts"?

How any player would not give his all for him I couldn’t understand.

Great speech.

Saban has pretty much said that before. Just more like: Recruiting in CFB gives one an edge. There's too much parity in the NFL to gain a edge.
