As a Michigan fan, I can attest that Saban was a class act along with the players and fans. Salute to the goat.

Total gratitude for the 17 seasons of excellence with the goat. Roll Tide

[@KATRTR]

Love forever to Coach Nick and Terry Saban ❤!! Thank you both for 17 years of excellence at my alma mater!! ROLL TIDE ROLL BUILTBYBAMA x3

[@JoeHall-xt8rc]

Kiffen is the man!!

[@blakemcclellan5748]

Thank you Coach Saban!! What a ride it has been!!

[@blakemcclellan5748]

Woke up this morning and still can’t believe the Saban era is officially over. We will be alright though. My vote is for Dan Lanning!

[@glove449]

Travis never let's anyone answer 🤣🤣🤣

[@livingadreamlife1428]

Excellent point about Mike Shula. This day isn’t about him, but he took over a broken program at that time-- 3 coaches in 3 years, NCAA Probation, Scholarship limitations, Roster Attrition -- that numerous elite coaches turned down because it was a graveyard. That said, Shula had neither the pedigree nor program-building knowledge to take Bama to the level that Saban did.

Saban 5-1 vs Kirby. That says it all.

[@scottjackson163]

NIL, the portal, compressed recruiting calendar, playoff expansion - too many negatives for a man who values discipline and loyalty.

[@jimmysexton4201]

Exactly, the NCAA letting college football run wild has cost us the goat! It's just not college football anymore that weve loved for so many years!!!

[@joeblow2069]

It was not a football decision. His wife is sick.

[@bnjmnwst]

Whatever you do, DO NOT drink every time Andrew Bone says, "ya know."

[@roclifton3439]

Saban now ready to be commissioner of college football. NIL reform coming.

[@zacharybinx5443]

247 said the team was told they should have a coach within 72 hours.

[@JoeHall-xt8rc]

Go get Kiffin please!

[@joeblow2069]

Yes and with Mike Vrabel as DC.

[@areyouexperienced03]

Looks like the “DJ Durkin was coming to campus to interview for DC today” was false lol.

[@JoeHall-xt8rc]

What about Kiffen?????

[@BamaBoi334]

He had to just found out some about ms terry or somebody it’s some he ain’t just walk away like this
