On gamedays, Nick Saban’s next move in college football will involve donning a different kind of headphone.
The news of the former head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide’s departure was revealed on Wednesday.

“I’m thrilled to have the chance to join ESPN and College GameDay, as they have greatly contributed to the development of college football,” Saban said in a statement. “College GameDay is the greatest Saturday tradition for college football fans, and I’ll try my best to bring more thoughts and viewpoints.”
As the head coach of the Crimson Tide, Nick Saban has appeared on “College GameDay” multiple times over the years.
Pat McAfee, a coworker who is on the “College GameDay” panel with Rece Davis, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, and Desmond Howard, is also well-known.

Paul Finebaum was told by Byrne, “He’s been amazing.” “I spoke with him throughout the search for a coach.”
After leading the Crimson Tide to a dynasty for 17 years, Saban unexpectedly announced his retirement. Most recently, he captured another SEC championship, but after losing to the eventual champion Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl, he was unable to go to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
Coach Saban holds the record for most national titles in college football history with his seven victories. Six rings were made in Tuscaloosa, but his first one was earned while he was a member of the LSU Tigers.
In the last ten seasons, he has contributed to Alabama winning seven SEC titles and four national titles, elevating the Crimson Tide to the status of one of the nation’s most feared teams.
