From his role as College GameDay analyst, legendary former coach Nick Saban has issued a number of changes he’d like to see to the sport. In light of Lane Kiffin’s departure from Ole Miss in the heat of a College Football Playoff run to take the job at LSU, he’d like to see an NFL-style adjustment to the coaching carousel calendar. To implement major reforms like that, he’d like to see a commissioner take over leadership of the sport (though he’s maintained that he doesn’t want that job).
During Saturday’s edition of GameDay, which broadcast from Atlanta ahead of Saban’s old program Alabama facing off against his longtime assistant Kirby Smart and Georgia, he and colleague Kirk Herbstreit put forward another change to the sport: the cancelation of the weekly CFP rankings show that airs on ESPN each Tuesday night beginning in early November.
