On game days, Nick Saban’s next move in college football will involve changing up his headwear.
The former head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide announced his resignation on Wednesday.
Senior NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN said Saban will mostly serve as an analyst for the “College GameDay” crew. He will also offer commentary during the media days for the NFL and SEC drafts.

“I’m pleased to have the opportunity to join ESPN and College GameDay, as they have substantially contributed to the evolution of college football,” Saban said in a statement. “College GameDay is the greatest Saturday tradition for college football fans, and I’ll try to add additional thoughts and viewpoints.”
As the head coach of the Crimson Tide, Nick Saban has appeared on “College GameDay” multiple times over the years.
On the “College GameDay” panel are notable colleagues Pat McAfee, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, and Rece Davis.
Nowadays, ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show” features Saban as a frequent guest.

Paul Finebaum was told by Byrne, “He’s been fantastic.” “I spoke with him while we were looking for a coach.”
After establishing the Crimson Tide as a dynasty for 17 years, Saban abruptly announced his retirement. His most recent SEC championship was lost in the Rose Bowl to the eventual winner, the Michigan Wolverines, which prevented him from playing in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
Coach Saban now owns the record for the most national titles in college football history after his seven triumphs. He played for the LSU Tigers, but his first ring came from collecting six in Tuscaloosa.
Over the previous ten seasons, he has contributed to Alabama’s seven SEC crowns and four national trophies, elevating the Crimson Tide to the status of one of the nation’s most formidable teams.
