We are reacting to the breaking news that Alabama head coach Nick Saban has indeed retired after 28 seasons as a head coach, with the last 17 years with the Crimson Tide.

We are joined by Chris Marler of the Saturday Football Uncensored Podcast, as well as Luke Robinson of Locked On Bama, as we share some memories of Nick Saban as a head coach, and pick which was our personal favorite game he ever coached.

In addition, we talk where Alabama will go from here? Who will the Tide target as next head coach as names like Oregon's Dan Lanning has emerged as a top contender.

Lastly, we bring you some exclusive audio from Mizzou head coach Eli Drinkwitz as we were with him when the news broke that Nick Saban has retired. Drinkwitz reveals he was on a Zoom call earlier today with the rest of the SEC head coaches, and there were no signs that Saban was hanging it up.
