[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 1000417, member: 1640"] Wasn’t sure where to post this. Also, lame person that I am, don’t have a link and can’t remember where I read it yesterday… But.. Nick Saban says he’s gearing up to be a voice to help NCAA football get back on track. He said, “It’s not college football anymore.” We can scoff at him quitting when NIL suddenly made his job harder, and some would certainly argue that his teams were semi-pro. But, I don’t think he’s posturing. This is a coach that, despite talent disadvantages, owned Kirby Smart. And, if not for some major injuries, would probably be undefeated against him. So I don’t have any doubt he could still coach in this environment and be competitive. There were a lot of good reasons for him to quit when he did but I honestly think one reason was no longer having the satisfaction of having kids come into the program, watching them grow over time, and seeing them leave feeling proud of their alma mater. He implies, I think, that a lot of good mentors will be chased out of the coaching business due to the loss of a “college” atmosphere. Plenty of coaches will fill the gaps but many of them will have a far more cynical view of student athletes and have far less interest in molding human beings out of them. It’s a different job now, as many of you have pointed out. Not a major theme for this thread but a pertinent side piece to this discussion. [/QUOTE]
