INDIANAPOLIS -- Former Alabama edge rusher Dallas Turner said Nick Saban's retirement "kind of hurt a lot of people's hearts," but it didn't catch him off-guard completely and "when it's your time to go, it's your time to go."

"A lot of people think that you can coach college football forever, but you really can't," Turner said at the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday.

Turner declared for the draft just after Alabama's loss to Michigan at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1. Saban announced his retirement Jan 10.
