I hate to hear the news about Saban retiring.

The man is the best college football coach that has ever lived. I cannot envision his accomplishments ever being equaled. I'm 57 years old and count myself blessed to have witnessed his coaching career and his impact on your program. He represented not only Alabama, but the entirety of College Football with class and integrity his entire tenure. As impossible a task as it may seem, I hope Alabama is successful in hiring a fitting successor as it seems to me that the truism: "What's good for Alabama is good for football" exists. May God continue to bless each of you and your loved ones as you go forward.
