Tuscaloosa, AL – April 20, 2025
In a powerful and emotional statement, legendary Alabama head coach Nick Saban has broken his silence following his retirement announcement, bringing an end to one of the most dominant coaching eras in college football history.
Saban, who led the Crimson Tide to seven national championships over 17 seasons, officially stepped down in January 2024. Now, months later, he has addressed the public for the first time about his decision and future.
“The University of Alabama has been a very special place for Terry and me,” Saban said. “We have loved every minute of our 17 years as head coach at Alabama and as part of the Tuscaloosa community.”
The 72-year-old coach revealed that his retirement was rooted in ensuring the program remained at its peak. “I just didn’t want to ride the program down because of my age,” he explained.
Since retiring, Saban has stayed close to the game, joining ESPN’s “College GameDay” as a college football analyst. He also appeared at SEC Media Days, where he met with current Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer, offering insight and support for the new leadership.
While no longer on the sidelines, Saban’s legacy continues to shape Alabama football. His words offer clarity, closure, and a deep sense of gratitude for the community that supported him throughout his historic run.
