I was a walk on at LSU in January 1987. Coach Jenkins made me the man I am today!!
13-13 tie with Ohio St. Great game
Great interview. Saban was so great a coach he built 2 successful programs in the SEC. Coach Pete showed genuine emotion towards a great man.
I’ve always respected Pete but to see him talk about Saban and the game of football like this, it launched him to an entire new level in my eyes. He truly cares about football unlike anyone else I’ve ever seen.
Much admiration and respect for Coach Pete. Hopefully enough people with his stature will speak up that the powers that be will implement some rules for NIL and the portal.
Free agency in pro sports come with rules/contracts, as should nil and the college level free for all
incredible interview! Thank you Coach Pete./... you're speaking the truth
Wow true passion
This is a very important interview
There's no health issue.... it's all about player control. Saban thrives on having control of his program. NIL & the portal have flipped the script where the players have the leverage.
I wrote Coach Saban after he accepted the job at Alabama in 2009 and thanked him for taking the job in 2007. Best coach ever in every respect. LSU knows that. RTR
All though Saban left LSU high and dry
His first National Championship ring that started it all will ALWAYS be LSU.💯
Happy Retirement🥂
Gone head Coach Pete nothin but love🙏🏾
Got to love men like Coach Pete.
Love coach Pete
You gotta drop the whole interview!!! 🎯
If the NIL and the portal had something to do with Saban retiring is somewhat hypocritical. You have head coaches making 10 million a year and position coaches making over a million and they will quit immediately and take another job if they think it’s better for their career. To say that a player, many of whom will never play pro football, can’t negotiate an NIL deal or play for the team of his choosing is not right and not the American way. If I remember correctly Saban left immediately at LSU without warning to take the job with the Dolphins.
Real emotions! I was super excited, 😜 😮🎉😅myself, but once you think 💭 about the grand scheme of things, it’s a devastating loss to the #GAME of football 🏈 the show must go on🙏🏾
#ThankYouNick

A wise man knows when to walk away, and retreat!
Saban just can’t coach players when money is involved because he loses some power. However, I do think these NIL deals are out of control. But as an LSU fan I’m not sad Saban is gone 🤷🏽♀️
I don’t think it was the 💰. He was at the top while playing the game under the table and with the bag on the table. He said the hours and grind started to wear and tear. That man is 72 and I believe it. These coaches are being worn out fast.
@@JamieBaby250Yeah, he finally had to really earn that money.
@@ghostwalker89 nah he just old bro. Every single coach complained about the calendar and grueling it is. Kirby said straight up he wasn’t doing it long as Saban. Waaay to much going on. But if you said it to troll, then sure. Them Bama checks ain’t cashing for them 5 stars like they used to lol.
@JamieBaby250 yeah I'm trolling, but the real thing is that he doesn't have the advantage he had over everybody else anymore. Sure he's getting old, but let's be for real. If he didn't have to work as hard as he does now to keep those ridiculous classes together every year, he'd still be coaching.
@@ghostwalker89 I feel ya on that☝️
i have to agree with nick. there has to be some change with NIL. and the transfer portal era. There needs to be restrictions on both money and how and when you should be able to transfer. something to that effect. college football will eventually die if not fixed
A changing of the guard. These kids are chasing the money & its hard to blame them.
Damn, I mean Nick ain’t dead yall.
I see y’all don’t like to listen. At 72 dealing with the grind that comes with CFB is a lot. Kirby Smart said he would never coach as long. It wears on coaches. When people are truly committed to doing a great job, it’s tough to do it with the Wild Wild West. This is why I respect the elders. People in the comments will always generalize it to money & soft 💩. Life is instant for us youngins sadly.
You know there has to be a way to pay players without the defacto Free Agency we have now tearing teams apart every offseason. Hopefully Nick, in his retirement, will use his stature and platform to push for a solution to save the game we all love so much.
I think I have a very simple solution really. You could keep the portal and you could keep NIL... all you have to do? Reinstate the "sit rule". Make transfers sit a year like how it used to be. A player would have to think very carefully abt transfering and teams would also have to think harder before poaching another team's roster just to pay a player to sit. You commit to a school, if things don't work out and you want to leave for whatever reason, finacially or otherwise? Ok, you can go... but you gotta sit a year. I think that would cool things down a bit while still being fair to both players AND coaches.
What do ya think?
There are no parameters for the NIL scenario, agents are acting like unruly pimps on behalf of high school kids and their families. It's over, it's finished. We have screwed up what used to be the best sport in the US.
NIL is ruining the game. It’s why Nick left Miami.
If NIL never happened then Alabama would have stayed on top like they have the past 13 years. Who and the hell wants to see Bama win it almost every single year….NIL made the game better cause now we have no idea who will win it every year.
Saban is leaving because he doesn't have total control anymore. He can't underhand recruit players with dirty tactics and force them to stay on his team for multiple years. The game got too hard for him.
Coaches were okay when they were getting the big bucks and having total control. They don't like players having good options.
NIL and the portal are ruining college football. Paying a player before he proves himself is B.S.
