WATCH: Alabama football releases tribute video in honor of Nick Saban

I’d grab a tissue if I were you

It has been a little over 24 hours since the announcement of Nick Saban’s retirement as the head football coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide and it still doesn’t seem real.

With the circus that is the Alabama football coaching carousel, taking the time to remember what coach Saban did and meant to the university is being lost.

The truth is, we should have spent most of Thursday in a state of gratitude for being witnesses to the greatest dynasty in college football history rather than constantly refreshing our social media looking for the most recent update on the coaching search.

The official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Alabama football team smacked all of us with the reality with a masterpiece of a tribute video to coach Saban narrated by the great Tom Rinaldi.

I’d grab a tissue.

Remembering Coach: Nick Saban made the legendary seem ordinary

Nick Saban’s impact will forever be felt

It’s hard to put into words what former Alabama head football coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] meant to the sport. Shoot, it’s hard to put into what Nick Saban meant to me personally.

Simply stated, Coach Saban changed everything. Not just Alabama football, not just the SEC, not even just the world of college football, he changed everything.

From the city of Tuscaloosa to the state of Alabama, Coach Saban was relentless in his effort to be the absolute best at everything he did and at the risk of sounding hyperbolic, revolutionized the world in which we live.

Even if you just stick to football, Saban’s impact is not quantifiable. In an effort to slow down his success on the field, changes to the sport were constantly occurring, and he just kept winning.

Saban’s on-the-field accomplishments are about as legendary as they come and he made it look easy. Whether you believe it or not, the entire college football world is going to miss Coach Saban, not just Alabama fans.

It will be a long time, if ever before we see a coach revolutionize a sport the way Nick Saban did college football. There are not enough words to adequately describe his impact, but the proof is in the pudding.

To simply describe it, Nick Saban made the legendary seem ordinary.
