This had to be the easiest decision of the college football season, right? Extending Nick Saban is just common sense.
The man has won seven national titles and he won six of them right in Tuscaloosa. When you find a coach that wins at the college level, you pay him.
When you find yourself with the greatest coach in college football history, you do whatever it takes to stop him from leaving.

Seeing as how Saban is currently 69-years-old, you have to wonder how much gas he has left in the tank. Would he coach into his 80s or is this his final deal?
I honestly have no idea, but I’m sure he’s not done winning national titles just yet.

Life is good if you’re an Alabama fan. Nick Saban isn’t going anywhere for the next several years, and will almost certainly retire with Alabama. Not a bad life to be living as a fan at all!
