Alabama football head coach Nick Saban has retired. Something that has long been talked about has actually happened. The question of who replaces him now takes center stage.
Saban had one of the most historic runs any coach in any sport has ever had. He helped lead the Crimson Tide to nine SEC titles and six national championships. Saban brought some of the best coaches and players to the University of Alabama over the years.
Saban exemplified what it meant to be a legend. The only other Alabama coach that compares to Saban is the great Paul “Bear” Bryant. There is reason to believe they are two of the greatest college football coaches ever and rightfully so.
With Saban retiring, it is time to look at some of the potential candidates who could take on the difficult task of carrying on what Saban built in Tuscaloosa.
