Do you think you know when Nick Saban will call it a career? If you are feeling confident about your prediction, you can actually win some money on that if you choose wisely.
While he may not look a day over 45, Alabama’s coach will turn 68 this college football season and just had to undergo a hip replacement surgery, which has some speculating on how long Saban can keep going at his incredible pace. The fact that Alabama went to great lengths to show that Saban was back at work two days after surgery suggests the Crimson Tide are well aware that rival SEC coaches are using Saban’s age against Alabama in recruiting.
Online sportsbook MyBookie is only adding fuel to that fire as the site currently lists odds for Saban’s eventual retirement.
