Damn, I knew this day would eventually come, but it’s still a heartbreaker, and that’s just me being greedy, love you coach, your❤ forever in our hearts what a spectacular career you have had.

[@watchstadium]

We will see what is next for Alabama.

[@user-mc4nx6ky3o]

100% facts from AJ. Especially about SC. We've really missed him. Need him back. I'd love to see AJ get a shot with us in the future, if he has any coaching interests. He obviously knows the game and also has common sense. A dangerous mix, these days.

[@watchstadium]

I bet he would love to hear this. Would you mind submitting it as a video? We love to feature fan videos on our shows. Submit here: watchstadium.com/submit

[@mapsgoonthewall5396]

He's actually one of the biggest surprises for me with him not dipping his toes into coaching yet.

[@user-mc4nx6ky3o]

He's hung on to playing for as long as he could because he truly loves the game. Another good sign of a potential coach.@@mapsgoonthewall5396

[@johncagle8355]

Coach Saban always preached the process. Football to Saban was taking talent and develop them not only to be the best player but To be a person. The NIL and transfer portal destroyed that. The attitude of the young players is all money driven. The best Coach, lost his real reason to Coach. Don't blame him. Thanks Coach for the memories.

[@watchstadium]

A true legend. Football has changed.

[@billyhaney7836]

AJ 💯 roll tide

[@davidcowan4705]

I bought his 2017 MB S63AMG and I drove it for 84000 miles. Great car! His son and I crafted the deal.

[@watchstadium]

Are you talking about AJ? 😂

[@teller1290]

I wonder if we'll be missing Lane in a couple years after Kalen(?) finds out he's not in the northwest...like that other northwesterner that went to that other fcs program in the state? I guess Kiffin stiffing Alabama as o/c in '16 with his ridiculous FAU bs hurt his chances, along with stiffing TN and SEC when he dumpedvthem midstream to go to USC.

[@AK-sq1jl]

I 100% agree about Kiffin!

[@alonzosanchez8577]

It will be lane kiffin or Dabo

[@RT22-pb2pp]

I think Saban did what he said he would he would eave when he just was not the best guy at the job anymore. He knows he has worn himself out, 17 yrs 72 yrs old he picked to go out on top not after team fell to lower ranks. yes he was great and is great and left while he and bama were still CFP play off team. he did what was best for him and team.

[@dsmxtuner95]

NGL I wanted Kiffin before but hearing AJ talk about it like that.....now i REALLY want Kiffin

[@watchstadium]

Time will tell!

[@Gafan86]

Dan lanning was the man for the job

[@reginaldhall6871]

Kiffen is his in worst enemy. Apparently he rubbed the wrong people the wrong way. Saban is proof that you don't have to hire within the family. Dud we not learn anything from hiring Bryant deciples? On Stallings worked out while Perkins, Dubose, & Shula were average to bad. I hope fans give Deboer more of a shot than we gave Bill Curry

[@craterus-ii9im]

Scott cochran was the seceret sauce to bama dynasty.

[@bamafan73191]

Lol yet he routinely beat the Georgia puppies that Cochran went to 😂😂😂

[@craterus-ii9im]

How many titles does saban have with scott---than without---let you stat geeks enlightment on that-----Just RollBaby 🤡@@bamafan73191

[@scottjackson163]

It’s clear that Lane Kiffin was blackballed during the post-Saban coaching search. Kiffin should have been on the shortlist, if not the top target, yet you heard nothing from Lane Kiffin himself or about him from the Alabama camp. When Greg McElroy was asked about Kiffin, he dismissed the idea summarily. I would like to know the backstory.

[@thomaskeys180]

how was it clear kiffin was "blackballed"? do you really think kiffin in his position should cater to your pathetic youtube comment?

[@jimmiecalvert3572]

If Alabama hires Anybody Besides Ln., Kiffin I think they will be making a mistake

[@dbz24]

What do you think about Kalen DeBoer?

[@WreakingHavoc1]

@@dbz24 Kiffin has had too many problems as a head coach. I still don't trust him. I think DeBoer was the best choice. He has a high percentage win record everywhere he's been and his speeches so far have impressed me. But I would agree with AJ on Scott Cochrane. Would love to see him back. I'd like to see him involved with the defense, even possibly as coordinator.

[@dadeo8957]

Was never going to be Kiffin. Come on. He’s one decent offer from heading somewhere other than Ole Miss. Scott Cochran? LOL! Just lost most of the respect I had for AJ.

[@MrTSBOND]

My mama said, “if you can’t say something nice… don’t say anything at all. “ When they ask “ How has Lord Vader Saban affected football and your life as well?”… and you AJ start talking about your business partners right out the gate ,…..come on man.

[@Native5]

This have left us in a mess at Alabama. Nick should have waited until after the spring and said, I'm done after this year. Coached but let the coaches do all the heavy lifting.

[@SnowmanRH]

Jimbo Fischer could get that job if he would apologise to Saint Nick

[@truthseeker9688]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rmcvyp8633]

not a chance

[@BryantWilliams-d3j]

The game of football is in a better place without Saban and belichik.....

[@aaronpatrick8238]

U must not know much about football. Not even a bama fan but I know saban and belichik are the best to coach

[@BryantWilliams-d3j]

@@aaronpatrick8238 you must like cheaters, and angry old men....you put anybody with those players Saban had and they having the same success....he didn't do anything spectacular, just recruited a bunch of black good young football players...to play on his plantation, i mean football field...

[@BryantWilliams-d3j]

@@aaronpatrick8238 what happened to Saban in the NFL with the dolphins???, ... I'll wait, he knew he couldn't bully or boss or even motivate "grown men", couldn't pull that mess with men, but bully kids....sad ..

[@texasrunner9848]

This is the second time Michigan chased away saban. The first time from MSU and now into retirement. You’re welcome to the rest of the SEC. Michigan did what you couldn’t - kill the king!

[@saurabhpatel6630]

What does this have to do with Michigan? It’s just one game. Saban lost plenty of times! What a dumb comment! 🤦‍♂️

[@Ksupreme_]

Michigan just now started beating Ohio State after being their doormat for decades. To think they could chase anyone away let alone the GOAT is laughable

[@courtneyjeffries390]

Man come on now. michigan finally got over that hump. They won't win a national title next year. Believe that!!!

[@watchstadium]

Whatever happens. Next year's 12 team playoff will be so fresh and awesome. I'm excited as hell for next season.

[@JamieBaby250]

The greatest CFB coach ever just retired at 72. No one cares. All CFB fans are happy Michigan won…finally. If you are a fan please enjoy it. You can celebrate Saban with sense and be excited about UM winning something after 26yrs 🤦‍♂️
