Nick Saban also addressed retirement rumors on "The Pat McAfee Show." AJ Hawk questioned the 72-year-old coach about the factors that led to the rumors in the first place. Saban said his age might be a factor.
"Well, it's because I'm getting old, I guess. Look I ask everybody who asks me that question, 'Are you going to be here for four years?' Some players ask me when I'm going to retire. I look at them and say, 'Can you guarantee me that you're going to be here for four years?' They look at me like, "hell, no."
