Nick Saban has spent the last few decades leading a hectic schedule. However, the seven-time NCAA football national champion made the decision to leave the sidelines early this year.
Kalen DeBoer of Alabama revealed shortly after Nick Saban’s retirement that he would be leaving the Washington Huskies to take over as head coach in Tusccaloosa. It is anticipated that Saban will continue to have a “supportive” role in Alabama’s football programme. However, the duties that accompany being a head coach will undoubtedly no longer take up all of his time.
“I want to bring the least amount of attention to me being around here as possible,” Saban stated to ESPN. “I thus wish to offer my support. I don’t want to be watching people over my shoulder; I just want to be helpful.
Later this year, Saban will also begin appearing on ESPN’s “College GameDay” as a panellist. But for the time being, he seems to be content with his more relaxed way of life.
He recently opened up about the biggest adjustments he’s faced since he stopped coaching.
“The biggest change for me as a person is that I lived my whole life for the last 50 years being in a hurry,” Saban told ESPN’s Chris Low. “It was, ‘Hurry up to go here. Hurry up to go there. Don’t be late for this meeting. You’ve got another meeting in an hour. What are you going to say to the staff? What are you going to say to the team?
“I mean, it was just deadline after deadline after deadline. Even when I was driving to the lake to go on vacation, I’d be in a hurry, and for what? But that’s just how you were built.
He’s actually texting and reading his own emails and sent his first-ever email,” Saban’s wife Terry told ESPN. “He even took his first trip to the pharmacy to pick up his first prescription. He’s actually quite proud of himself.”
