Hey did you see the news?
Alabama head coach Nick Saban announced he was retiring on Wednesday, sending a shockwave through the college football news and coaching landscape.
No name in college sports looms larger than Nick Saban. His stranglehold over the SEC and College Football during a boom in sports marketing and mass media has given Saban a unique reputation. He’s beloved and feared, but outside of a subsection of people in Alabama who specifically live in Auburn he’s not really hated.
Alabama is one of College Football’s blue blood programs. They have won 15 National Championships, which is an impressive number, then you realize that two of those were in the mid 1920s when I’m not sure you can really count any championship.
