Saban may have followed in the Bear’s footsteps and replaced him as GOAT, but I hope he doesn’t follow The Bear’s footsteps into retirement. Bryant died 4 weeks after he retired. I grew up in Birmingham in the 60s and early 70s, and had no choice than to be a ‘Bama fan. I’d watch The Bear’s after game show every Sunday, eating the same Lays potato chips and drinking Pepsi like the Bear. Between his eating habits and smoking like a chimney he looked much older when he retired at 69 than Saban does in his 70s. Coaching must be a hard life, but Saban seems to have taken care of himself. I hope he gets to enjoy many years in retirement. He certainly earned it.
The last time an Alabama coaching legend retired…
