Ha!  Probably the reaction of much of the college football fandom.

I say, "Congrats and good luck to the GOAT.  He certainly earned his time off."

Definitely going to be interesting to see who they get to replace him.  A lot of coaches and agents are about to make a lot of money on salary increases/extensions.

Belichick might be available. Go straight from Vader to Palpatine...

I would agree, though if I'm Lanning I'm thinking long and hard before going to a meat grinder to try and replace Saban when he could get paid the same where he is

Everyone knows you can't replace a legend.  The next coach at Alabama is pretty much doomed.

Yeah, you could be an extremely good coach and still not come close to matching that legacy

Yep. Money has been destroying relatable players for a while now. Growing up there were two Browns players that lived in the condo complex in Brook Park that my cousin lived in. Great guys. One had a warehouse job in the off-season. Was just like our family. Nowadays, an average athlete will make $ in a year that most take a lifetime to make.
