Alabama Football: Nick Saban is in a hurry to work, not retire.

What will Nick Saban do after he retires from coaching football? Nick has repeatedly said he doesn’t know and even the thought of it scares him. Other than four reasons discussed below, we see no indication Saban will not coach Alabama football through his current contract.

Saban will turn 73 during the 2024 college football season. After last season’s spring practice, former Saban player, Marcus Spears asked Nick how he is different in never getting tired. Nick’s quick response was “tired of what, winning” and elaborated “I hate to lose more than I like winning.”

Saban has explained he has been part of a team for over 50 years, going back to when he was nine.
