• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Saban retires

My cousin works at the athletics facility and just texted me and said CKD passed around a shoe box and told all the players to put their earrings in there. No sissies on his team. He then went to the door and said im leaving and when I come back in here I’m taking my shirt off and all y’all better have your shirts off too. Well he comes back in and everyone is shirtless. They starting throwing tables around and shout ‘Bama’ and Wildboys’. He then spots Tommy Rees and tackles him.

I think he’s finally home!

Sounds more like he should be at Penn State.
 
Just a guess from an outsider. If what was said earlier is true (rumors his wife is Ill), then I would guess Saban is really stepping away from things to he with her. That’s what I would do.

In that case these may just be statements that make everyone comfortable.
Saban has said a couple times since he retired that no one is sick. I think he’s just being honest with himself acknowledging he can’t handle the grind anymore.
 
I mean why wouldn't you want unlimited access to the best that has ever done it? Saban is not going to do anything to cause issues with the team. But talk about sealing a deal on a recruiting visit than dinner with the GOAT.

Not a corch in waiting situation
Yea. It could go bad, but it could be a huge bonus too. Saban is out and did it on his own terms. So he might not interfere and just be happy to give some advice from time to time.

I agree. He could still be an ambassador for the school like Spurrier did. But Napier doesn't listen to SOS
