Nick Saban shocked the football world earlier this week when he announced his retirement after 17 historic seasons coaching at Alabama.
That list of stunned former players, coaches and fans alike included Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who played three seasons for Saban from 2017–19.
“Oh, damn!” Tagovailoa shouted in the Dolphins’ quarterbacks room when he saw the news on his phone. “Saban is retiring? ... It doesn’t even feel real.”
