After upsetting Georgia in the SEC championship and jumping in front of undefeated Florida State for a College Football Playoff spot, Alabama coach Nick Saban is once again just a pair of wins from taking home a national championship. Another title in would give Saban eight overall and seven with the Crimson Tide.
It would be hard top an unlikely national championship as a moment for Saban to ride off into the sunset, once again at the top of the sport. However, not even those closest to Saban on Alabama’s staff know what the ultra-competitive 72-year-old has planned career-wise.
Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Kevin Steele’s relationship with Saban dates to 1985, and he’s on his third stint as a Saban assistant. When asked about Saban’s retirement plans Friday, he had little insight to give.
