re: ESPN: How Alabama moved from Nick Saban to Kalen DeBoer in 49 hours

He may not have liked it, but Saban had adapted to the new landscape. That, maybe more than anything, made him as great as he was. He was willing and able to adapt. It just got to the point where at his age there was really no reason to deal with the new, and ever changing headaches. He's made more money than he can ever really need and he's cemented himself as the greatest college football coach of the modern era. He had nothing more to prove or do.

Saban left the NFL cause he wanted control over his roster. Now he is retired because of the same thing in college.

It is impressive that he dances the line of being critical of the new "system" (if you can call it a system) and not being critical of the players for wanting money.

I hate what he did for Alabama but i wouldn't mind seeing him in a commissioner role for CFB. Someone needs to do it
