Nick Saban has had one of the most successful careers as a college football coach in the history of the sport. Over his 28 years as a head coach, he achieved a remarkable record of 297-71-1, which ranks him fifth all-time in victories.
Saban is best known for his tenure as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, where he led the team from 2007-2023, winning six national championships. Additionally, he won one championship with the LSU Tigers in 2003.
Since announcing his retirement after the 2023 season, people have been searching for ways to keep Nick Saban involved in college football. Penn State Nittany Lions head coach James Franklin proposed that Saban should take on the role of commissioner of college football.
Franklin expressed that he believes college football is currently lacking proper leadership during the era of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements and the transfer portal. He feels the situation has become chaotic and emphasizes the need for someone to take charge and restore order.
