This man exemplifies the standard of greatness

From a DIE HARD Georgia fan, how can you not like this guy? Greatest coach to walk grounds of my generation. Yes it’s hard looking back at his wins over the dawgs but can’t help but smile as to what he did for his players and coaches and for the game of football. Set the standard and forced others to chase him. Go dawgs. Only time you’ll hear me say Roll tide!

As a Gators fan, this man is the GOAT and I am very sad to see him go. Nick Saban is the epitome of success and structure and society needs more people like him.

The best Coach of all time. Nobody can coach like Saban we will definitely miss you .

As one writer said, Coach Bryant created a kingdom and Coach Saban turned it into an empire. His commitment to excellence brought so much joy to my family and me - the games we attended, the titles we celebrated, the games we watched on TV, even the press conferences. He did so much more than win football games.
-
Coach Saban, from a Georgia fan I want to congratulate you on a great career. Undisputed greatest head coach of all time. I surprised to say I’ll miss you being in it year in and year out. College football won’t be the same. I truly wish you the best in retirement! May God bless you and your family!

My hats off to Rece Davis for keeping it together during that interview, as an Alabama Alum he had to be very emotional. Roll Tide and best of luck to Coach Saban.

Respect from a Michigan fan. Sometimes we all got sick of Alabama winning ALL THE TIME😂 but that’s a testament to his success. It was non stop at all times. His worst years were light years ahead of 98 percent of other teams best years. And he didn’t have many off years. No one has ever done it better, and it won’t be the same without him.
-
Thank you, Coach! Thank you for all you did for Alabama and not just the University and the team. You are a class act, and deserve all good things in this world. Enjoy your time with Ms. Terry and your children and grandchildren. Roll Tide forever!

Love that dude. He made LSU what it is today. Hated playing him at Bama… but he is the greatest of all time. He’s truly going out on top.

Not only a man of success, but also a man of value. Well done, Coach Saban — truly the Greatest of All Time.

Auburn fan here. I’m in awe of everything you accomplished at Alabama. Not only were you a formidable opponent, but you gave us on the Auburn side a kick in the behind to make the best of ourselves. Congratulations on your retirement. You earned it.

I’m a 25 year old Alabama alum. This man made me fall in love with the school and college football. Growing up in a super small town Alabama football was everything. This man has done more for the state of Alabama than any politician could ever imagine. Every man should strive to be even half the person Nick Saban is. Not just in sports but life. I absolutely idolize Coach Saban and i will miss him everyday. Roll Tide Forever.
