Maybe CNS can help guide the way. He kinda knows the landscape.


Something tells me that having part of your staff loyal to the head coach for several years, and then the other part being retained from Saban’s staff, along with Saban being allowed to still have influence, is going to be a toxic situation. A lot like the Dye/Bowden relationship at Auburn in the 90s. As soon as they lose a game, a lot of fingers are gonna be pointing a lot of different directions.

This is the issue. No matter the retirement home/island/lake homes that Saban has….the fact that he will be IN the building at times will undercut the respect for the new guy. Everyone will SEE who is running things.

Nick needs to be a phone call away. Not a step or two down the hall away.

I think this is overblown...yes, Saban is a legend, but do you really think a new head coach and his staff are going to care about what a retired Saban has to say? For that matter, Saban is retired, he was probably getting burnt out himself, especially with the portal and NIL. He will enjoy his retirement or maybe take a part-time commentator gig...
