Yeah, I don’t know why people are absolutely stunned about this. Moscona’s acting like he can’t even speak right now.

I think everyone speculated on this before the season when he dropped $15 million on a house in Florida. You don't pay that kind of money for a vacation home. That a "I'm too old for this shite" retirement residence.

People have been saying he's done for half a decade. He's 72, it's not hard to guess it right.

Well he was right when he said NIL would create free agency and he was correct

Some writer has been saying that every year for a long time.

A broken clock is right twice, doesn't mean shite.

Saban doesn't like it when everyone else can buy players too.

He's spent a decade advocating against changes that eroded his advantages and mostly won. He couldn't stop this change and couldn't get congress to pass a law.

Playoff
HUNH
Satellite Camps
SEC schedule changes
Cost of Attendance Stipends
NIL

I would love to pile on and agree with this, but the truth is it’s more about the fact that you have to spend 24/7, 365 days a year recruiting the players on your team, and getting held up by your own kids for more money every single year. That’s on top of the usual high school recruiting, coaching staff management, and game planning.

The current model of college football isn’t sustainable. Guys like Lance Heard who don’t even start shouldn’t be in the head coach’s office demanding more money or else they are leaving.

When you can no longer stack the odds, call it a career.

People talk about Saban like greatest of all time but there’s a big gap in my mind between NFL strategizing and college program strong arming. He was a decent coach. He was a great program builder. Don’t confuse them.

I said this before the 2023 season.

He’s 72.

We’ve got 10 years before BK does the same

bullshite! Saban dominated college football with an even playing field. He was doing it at LSU then he did it at Alabama. YOU are exactly what Teddy Roosevelt had in mind for “The Critic” when he wrote The Man in the Arena.
quote:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.


YOU are the cold and timid soul.
