Saban tired of the new landscape

Saban projected this years ago. NIL and the transfer portal are bad for college sports.
He sent the word to the media after the bowl game that he was done.
It’s an end of an era.

Now he can't dictate who he gets, it's a level playing field. He's definitely a legend but it did help that he could just keep stacking that roster w 5*

Or…. He’s in his 70s and being the lead of a major college program is exhausting.
Is the landscape harder to manage? Yes, but if anyone could find a way to stack the deck it would be Nick.

The game has changed he didn’t want to play it, good for him

Above the table money to players helped him retire

Couldn’t win without stock piling all the 5 star players on his bench

Let's hire Saban as an analyst.

I knew he was done when he bought the beach house last summer

Weren’t him and Kirby outspoken about the transfer portal and NIL not being what it was supposed to be? You know players actually getting paid off their name image and likeness and not straight out of boosters pockets.

Now we really know why Steele is retiring
Posted on 1/10/24 at 5:20 pm to SlidellCajun
He is correct

I think the transfer portal is worse than NIL. Be true to your school.

He left the Dolphins because he couldn't be king of the mountain and impose his will on the players.
With the portal and NIL, that is where CFB has been headed for the last 2-3 years and as we're almost there, he wants nothing to do with it.

It is too much like the pros for him now. He is only happy getting more than his share.

He admitted to Alabama, when they hired him he wasn’t the best coach but he was the best recruiter

He lost the edge he had with the Amite Barber Railroad with NIL and he lost the ability to stock 5 star back ups year after year with the Transfer Portal.

Yeah man it was really bad for bama when they got Jahymr Gibbs last year.
Some of y’all are acting like the transfer portal was the death of saban when in reality he used to his advantage.

He dangled the carrot better than anyone. Now the players eat carrots off of gold plates everyday

No. No they’re not. But he is leaving because of it. Because he can’t hoard and stockpile talent like he could before which gave him the advantage over everyone else. It’s not a coincidence that they haven’t won shite since the portal and NIL because a thing.
