Nick Saban’s next move in college football on game days will involve switching up his headgear.

On Wednesday, the Alabama Crimson Tide’s former head coach’s departure was made public.

Adam Schefter, a senior NFL insider for ESPN, claims that Saban will mostly function as an analyst for the “College GameDay” team. In addition, he will commentate on the SEC and NFL Draft media days.

In a statement, Saban stated, “I’m excited to have the opportunity to join ESPN and College GameDay, as they have greatly contributed to the development of college football.” “I’ll do my best to add more ideas and perspectives, but for college football fans, College GameDay is the best Saturday tradition.”

Over the years, Nick Saban has made several appearances on “College GameDay” as the head coach of the Crimson Tide.

Notable colleagues Pat McAfee, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, and Rece Davis are also on the “College GameDay” panel.

Saban was a frequent guest on “The Pat McAfee Show,” which airs on ESPN these days.

It’s also critical to keep in mind that Saban conducted Davis’s first interview on ESPN following his retirement.

The director of athletics at Alabama, Greg Byrne, also mentioned that Saban will continue to advise the team.

Byrne said to Paul Finebaum, “He’s been amazing.” “I communicated with him during the coach search.”

Following 17 years of building the Crimson Tide into a dynasty, Saban abruptly announced his retirement. He most recently won another SEC title, but he was unable to go to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game due to a loss in the Rose Bowl to the eventual champion Michigan Wolverines.

With his seven victories, Coach Saban now holds the record for the most national titles in college football history. Although he collected six rings in Tuscaloosa, his first one came from playing for the LSU Tigers.

He has helped Alabama win seven SEC titles and four national titles over the past 10 seasons, making the Crimson Tide one of the most feared teams in the country.
