The legendary Nick Saban, the maestro behind Alabama's incredible success, is stepping down.
Nick Saban, the 72-year-old coach, announced his decision to step down from the helm of the Alabama Crimson Tide football program.
Saban arrived in 2007, transforming a struggling program into the winningest of the 21st century. Under his leadership, Alabama secured six national titles and boasted a remarkable 201-29 record.

Saban's impact goes beyond wins and losses, focusing on players' growth and success beyond the football field. "Simply put, Nick Saban is one of the greatest coaches of all time, in any sport." - Greg Byrne, Alabama director of athletics
Over 28 seasons in college football, Saban amassed a remarkable 292-71-1 record, leaving an indelible mark on the sport.
