In 2020 Saban won the national championship. In 2021, he lost in the championship game. 2022, a massive disappointment, ended with two losses and a Sugar Bowl win. This year, he still made the playoffs. That doesn't seem like a coach leaving because the game passed him by. I think Alabama, will be luck to even replicate a down 2022 any time soon
I don’t think the game has passed him by but they clearly have not been as dominant since 2020 as they were before then. Better to go out in too IMO.
