In an interview with On3 Sports, former Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops weighed in on Nick Saban's near-30-year run as a head coach between college and the NFL. He also shared when he thinks Saban will walk away from the game...

quote:
“I mean, you know, Coach Saban, Nick has been a family friend for a long time... He knew my father as an assistant high school coach. Anyway, yeah, I could see (Saban still coaching), I don’t see him going away anytime soon. So, good for him. You know, Coach Saban does an incredible job. He loves the game. He obviously loves what he does and more power to him," Stoops said, via Saturday Down South.

“I applaud him and of course, he’s a great coach but again for me, he’s been a great family friend for a great number of years. Anyway, it goes — like I said, it goes way back to my father as a high school coach and my uncle, a high school coach that he was very good friends with.”

I love how LSU fans think this happened. Bear OWNED LSU. He didn’t care one way or another about LSU. Losing to auburn in 82 was a way bigger deal and he retired in mid December. This is a big a myth as saban begging for his old job at LSU back. Bama fans get a good chuckle that little bitty LSU made Bryant quit.
