At least we can count on Miss Terry staying put. Or can we?
All hell broke loose when Nick Saban announced his retirement. The GOAT is the GOAT for a reason. He was the glue holding this thing together the whole time.
I love Deion Sanders’ take on college football, Nick Saban and the transfer portal by my AL.com colleague Mark Heim: Deion Sanders reveals cost for portal players, talks Miss Terry, why Nick Saban really retired - al.com
Here’s an excerpt:
Deion Sanders admitted he hasn’t seen anything like what is happening in college football when it comes to the transfer portal.
“They need to jump into the portal with what they cost and just make it easier,” Sanders said, adding players should come with price tags.”
He added $50,000 will “get you a walk on these day.”
“I hadn’t see anything like it. God bless their souls,” he added. “I’m happy for the young men. It’s something. It’s just a lot of movement, but it’s a price tag on anything. It ain’t just the kids.”
Sanders doesn’t think former Alabama coach Nick Saban retired because of the portal or NIL.
“Mainly because I know him and I know his art and I know he loves this game,” Sanders said. “But when you’re sitting there watching how this thing plays out and you’re watching the obstacles you gotta go through and you’re seeing — you’re dealing with parents that are parents-slash-agents, homie-slash-the bagman. You’re dealing with so much craziness. And I get it, so I know he’s getting it at a whole ‘nother level, because I get it when I’m meeting with parents and these young men. Old school guys that were built and built their lives on hard work, dedication and trying to treat people right, they don’t see that formula work anymore. But it still does, but they don’t have the time. Coach has done some tremendous things in our game.
“And his wife? Should teach a class of all coaches wives, girlfriends, whatever. She should teach a class on how to handle the stage. And she’s not behind him, she’s right there with him. And you’re talking about a commitment to excellence? Wow.”
Bottom line: It’ll be fine. It’ll all be just fine.
