At 71 years of age, the question everyone in the college football world wants to know is how long Nick Saban will continue coaching. With seven national titles under his belt and virtually every record in the history of the Alabama football program, he has already earned the title of the greatest coach of all time.
However, Saban’s age certainly plays a part in recruiting as no kid wants to commit to the G.O.A.T. for him to retire in the midst of their college careers, but it doesn’t appear as if that day is coming anytime soon. Five-star wide receiver and Alabama commit, Ryan Williams, is a key piece in the Tide’s 2025 recruiting class and he shared that Nick Saban isn’t considering calling it quits yet. Williams is the No. 4 overall player in the country and keeping his commitment is essential.
Williams acknowledges that Saban is a monumental part of his commitment to Alabama and they have even discussed his retirement at points. Williams said to Bud Elliot of CBS Sports about Saban’s potential retirement, “We’ve talked about that, of course. But he said he’s going to be coaching until he croaks over.” That was all Williams needed to hear as he has been extremely committed to the Tide dating back to last fall.
This is great news for Alabama fans as this means the Tide will continue to compete for national titles for years to come with no worries of who is potential replacement will be one day.
