Never beat a 9 win Aub team. No coach is amazing if he never beats his rival when his rival is good. Bowden beat good Miami and FL teams in BOTH of his NC years.
All the best to Coach Saban, we the fans, could never repay you for what you have given us. Thanks to your family as well - that means you Miss Terry! All the best to the Saban’s!
Well Saban took the legacy of Bear Bryant to a whole new level. I'm sure Nick didn't think his career with the Tide was going to be the new standard of football. It's definitely going to take someone with excellent decision making and confidence to get the job done. Whoever is the new coach, as fans, athletes and students, we need to give him time and not fire him after the first year. Let him settle in...as we will continue to ROLL TIDE!!
Happy New Year all, hope whoever is reading this has the best year of there life and that can start with becoming more Christ like and able to leave this world a better place than you found it. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life do so before your last breath. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ into your life, bow your head, close your eyes and from a sincere heart ask him to cleanse you of your sins and be your Lord and Savior.
Broadway Joe! It's impossible for today's young football fans to appreciate the earthquake that Joe Namath and his upstart AFL NY Jets delivered in the third NFL-AFL Championship game - a victory that led to the eventual merger into the NFL we know today! From Wikiedia: "Super Bowl III was an American football game played on January 12, 1969, at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida. It was the third AFL-NFL Championship Game in professional American football, and the first to officially bear the trademark name "Super Bowl". Super Bowl III is regarded as one of the greatest upsets in both American football history and in the history of professional sports. The 19 1⁄2 -point underdog American Football League (AFL) champion New York Jets defeated the National Football League (NFL) champion Baltimore Colts by a score of 16-7.*
It's truly amazing how sobriety has transformed Joe Namath. If hadn't got off the booze he would most likely be dead. But now he looks great and sounds great.
Joe hit on it about the impact that Coach Saban. It's reflected in not only the players who went on to the NFL but also the players who left Alabama with their degrees. Coach always took pride in those accomplishments. He's right up there with Coach Bryant as far as Alabama football.
It's great to see Kaitlan Collins covering football!! I'm sure I've said this waaay too many times, She is the Jack Youngblood of journalism. I love her voice, she should do audiobooks. I could listen to her read the dictionary. It'd be AWESOME to see her on ABCs Monday Night Football, can she sing The Party's Over? Absolutely nothing to do with politics. WTH is wrong with you people?
Joe is the first QB to win a national championship and a SB. And with Bart Starr gone, Joe is the first SB-winning QB who's still standing. A true legend in Alabama and NYC, even if his stats don't compare to modern NFL QBs'. Glad he's still sharp and with it.
A NC with a caveat. In 64, they chose the NC before the bowl game. Yes, that was the rules, but with AL losing to TX in the Orange, the loss tainted the feel good about Namath winning. ArK #2 beat Tx.
Broadway Joe was always cool, glad that he still is going strong. But, as an LSU alumnus, I was sad to hear no mention of Nick's great accomplishments there, before trying NFL, then landing in Alabama, but it was an Alabama themed report. LSU fans never got over his defection to their rival, dubbing him 'Nick Satan.' Still, he was a great coach, one of the best. Reminds me of seeing Shaq play for LSU way back when. Fun to watch.
5 out of 10, then 6 out 12 Natys. Played in 8 or 9. 4 Heisman trophy winners. With NIL, portal and 12 team playoff it will be hard to beat those records.

As an Auburn fan, I hate to see him go. I’m a huge college football fan. Nobody ever did it better. Saturdays won’t be the same without Saben on the sidelines!!!!! He’s earned the right to get some rest. But, I still hate to see him go…….
Sometimes these coaches stay to long at a college so the school is not the same unless they are the coach, I think that is what he did, people will be talking about him like Joe just mention his coach who stayed forever with his hat that if you got one every one would talk about the coach how wore it at the university of Alabama.

It's always good to see Joe name. It was a lot of good quarterbacks coming out of the Alabama way before high school. Be quarterbacks, did anywhere else but they never got picked.

It's always great to see Mr.Namath !!! Roll Tide Roll

Thank you Nick and Miss Terri, you are a class act in every way
It is Always good to see Joe Namath healthy ! He is a great storyteller
Roll Tide! I'm sad Saban is retiring but wish him the best and thank him for the greatest dynasty in college football.
Only one Joe Namath. Can still tell a story and is right on. Really enjoyed this video.
Look up the most overrated players. He's on the list.
I am from Auburn but Saban was amazing for football and my home state. He deserves all his flowers.
Even though I always Roll Tide, we need a strong War Eagle too. That’s why the rivalry is the greatest.
What do you mean flowers
Never beat a 9 win Aub team. No coach is amazing if he never beats his rival when his rival is good. Bowden beat good Miami and FL teams in BOTH of his NC years.

I love the past, and you have picked one of the best and talented quarterbacks ever to play the game, too comment, thank you.
Totally emotional response. Namath is one of the MOST overrated players ever. Do some research.
Coach Saban took an already proud and iconic college program with Alabama and mad it the most illustrious in college football!
Joe was the best. Roll Tide!

He would've won more titles in B.R. than Tuscaloosa, if he'd stayed in Louisiana.
I do not like Alabama I’m a die hard FSU fan! But that man is a great coach and I’m sure he’s going to be sorely missed!
Look how fast Herbie beat Saban's 26-0 run. Saban was at AL during a whimsical time.
Include Pop Warner in that greatest coach conversation, too.
5 out of 10, then 6 out 12 Natys. Played in 8 or 9. 4 Heisman trophy winners. With NIL, portal and 12 team playoff it will be hard to beat those records.
4 during the defunct BCS. Are you saying ir there was a level playing field, Saban's coaching abilities would have been exposed? I totally agree.

Namath seems the go to here, not sure why as I have seen him other places
Saban is the GOAT of course but what is Joe being interviewed for?
Broadway Joe. Bear Bryant “grumble grumble something something football $600,000 signing bonus” Nick Saban GOAT pro football coach.
600k in 1965 is probably equivalent to over 10 million in todays money
I'm not an Alabama fan by any stretch, but Alabama is all we hear about. Enough already! He'll be hard to replace. But won't be too long...
Yeh...I think it will be a long while, esp with the ruinous rules changes.

It's Joe Namath (you must have hired someone from Fox News by accident).
