Nick Saban Announces Retirement after 17 Seasons at Alabama TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama's Nick Saban, who has won more college football national championships than any coach in the modern era, announced his retirement on Wednesday.
"The University of Alabama has been a very special place to Terry and me," Saban said. "We have enjoyed every minute of our 17 years being the head coach at Alabama as well as becoming a part of the Tuscaloosa community. It is not just about how many games we won and lost, but it's about the legacy and how we went about it. We always tried to do it the right way. The goal was always to help players create more value for their future, be the best player they could be and be more successful in life because they were part of the program. Hopefully, we have done that, and we will always consider Alabama our home." <> Saban spent 28 years as a college head coach at Toledo (1990), Michigan State (1995-99), LSU (2000-04) and Alabama (2007-23). He won seven national titles in those 28 years, his first at LSU in 2003 before capturing six championships at Alabama (2009, 2011-12, 2015, 2017 and 2020). He also coached the Miami Dolphins for two seasons (2005-06).

O’Sullivan equalled Stephen Hendry’s haul of seven world titles after beating Judd Trump in the Crucible final in May, becoming the oldest player to win snooker’s biggest prize. His run in Sheffield saw him installed as the early favourite for SPOTY 2022, although he has since slipped off top spot following the Lionesses’ historic win at the European Championship on home soil. “If it was taken on your achievements for what you do in the sport, I would have probably won it a few times by now,” O’Sullivan told Eurosport. “So to not even get in the reckoning, I sometimes q
