Kirby Smart heaps praise on Nick Saban

Nick Saban will no longer be coaching in college football this season, as he announced his retirement after the Alabama Crimson Tide lost to the Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl.

Smart used to coach under Saban, and since taking over as the coach of the Georgia Bulldogs, Smart says that Saban has been nothing but good to him.

“Nick’s been great,” Smart said. “He’s been wonderful for my career. He’s a great man. He’s a leader in college football, he continues to do that. He’s been very supportive of me and my family.”

In the last game Nick Saban and Smart coached against each other, it was Saban and the Crimson Tide who got the win, as they defeated Georgia in the SEC Championship game.

The win by Alabama also eliminated Smart and the Bulldogs from making the college football playoff as the Crimson Tide punched their ticket to the college football playoffs.
