Nick Saban, widely regarded as one of the greatest college football coaches in history with six national championships at Alabama, is stepping down, as reported by ESPN’s Chris Low on Wednesday.
Saban, 72, concluded his 17th season at Alabama, culminating in a loss to eventual national champion Michigan in the Rose Bowl.
In November, Saban shared with ESPN, “I’ve always said that if you’re thinking about retirement, you’re probably already retired, and I’m not there yet.”

The Alabama Crimson Tide hosts its home games at Bryant–Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Under Coach Saban, the team boasts an impressive official record of 201–28 (.878) (206–28 on the field).
Their achievements include 23 bowl game appearances with 16 victories, ten SEC West titles, nine SEC championships, and six national championships.
Prior to leading LSU, Saban served as the head coach at Toledo for a single year in 1990 and held the position at Michigan State from 1995 to 1999. Additionally, he took on the role of head coach for the NFL’s Miami Dolphins from 2005 to 2006.
