Nick Saban is officially retiring from college football, according to multiple reports, and everyone in the sports world is reacting.
Here is what everyone is saying via social media:
Wow!!
Surprised but not shocked by Coach Saban stepping down. Best to ever do it. From 2008-2023 he compiled a record of 199-16!!!! That’s an average of 12 wins in the last 16 seasons. As consistent and good as the sport has ever seen!
Thank you coach for all you put into the…— Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) January 10, 2024

Told y’all all season long.
There was a different tenor of appreciation from Coach Saban this entire year.
Goes out with possibly his finest coaching job
