Legendary Alabama Crimson Tide football coach Nick Saban’s retirement sent shockwaves through the college sports world. In the fourth episode of “The Tides That Bind,” available exclusively on Fox Nation, staff members of the Crimson Tide reflect on the day Saban announced his decision to end his coaching career.
On January 10, 2024, during a team meeting, Saban tearfully revealed his retirement, leaving players and staff in disbelief. Saban, who won six national championships with Alabama and produced four Heisman Trophy winners, including Bryce Young, Mark Ingram II, Derrick Henry, and DeVonta Smith, left a lasting legacy with the Crimson Tide.
Despite the panic that ensued in Tuscaloosa after Saban’s departure, the team managed to hire former Washington Huskies coach Kalen DeBoer as his successor. Despite finishing the 2024 season 9-4 and failing to reach the College Football Playoff, DeBoer has embraced the challenge of filling Saban’s shoes and leading the team through this transition.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, DeBoer discussed what it’s been like to follow in Saban’s footsteps and the team’s partnership with Fox Nation. Fans can watch the extensive library of Fox Nation programs on-demand and from their mobile devices by starting a free trial on Fox Nation.
