Nick Saban stays busy after coaching retirement

Nick Saban retired from coaching on Jan. 10, 2024. His retirement came after guiding the Alabama Crimson Tide to the CFP National football semifinals, where they lost against the Michigan Wolverines.

Following his retirement, Saban was hired by ESPN as a CFB analyst for College GameDay. The legendary collegiate head coach was tasked with bringing his years of experience to the booth alongside a host of talented anchors. It's important to note that Saban was a regular guest on Thursday editions of the "Pat McAfee Show" during his last season with the Crimson Tide.

In addition to his role on ESPN College GameDay, Saban contributes to the network's coverage of the NFL Draft and SEC Media Days. The coaching icon was a regular fixture on broadcasts in the 2024/25 college football season.

According to Athlon Sports, Nick Saban has bagged yet another high-profile appointment. The College Football Hall of Famer is all set to co-chair a commission on collegiate athletics that will work toward resolving the issues plaguing NCAA football. Saban will chair the committee alongside Texas Tech NIL collective founder Cody Campbell.

How has Alabama fared post-Nick Saban?

As for the Alabama Crimson Tide, they had a mixed first season in a while without Coach Saban at the helm. The Crimson Tide posted a 9-3 regular-season record before losing to the Michigan Wolverines in a bowl game during Kalen DeBoer's first year in charge.

The Crimson Tide looked lost at times as they struggled to choose between being a run-first offense or an air-heavy program. With the 2025 campaign a few months away, Crimson Tide fans will look for a significantly better showing in DeBoer's second year in charge.
