Saban retires

I'm glad Arizona will be in a state of shock with losing the coach. They were going to come in this season as a Big 12 favorite. Thank You Saban!
 
So it is incredibly ballsy (IMO) to take half of his key coaching decisions away from him.
We talking 'bout bammer. sabahr has an office in the football stadium.

How often does a retiring head coach have oversight over the new incoming head coach?

Last time I can recall anything that is when Pat Dye resigned at Auburn. He was given an office in the basement of Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum. Prior to the 2009 football season, Gene Chizik held his preseason coaching meetings at Dye's "Crooked Oaks" ranch.
This is from the article linked below ...

But Dye wasn’t just close to town, whether that be running Crooked Oaks Hunting Preserve and Quail Hollow Gardens Japanese Maple Farm & Nursery in Notasulga or hosting “The Coach Pat Dye Show” on radio, which he had done since 2013 — he stayed very close to the program, too.

Malzahn can recall thinking “Wow, that’s Pat Dye,” every time Dye visited his office when he first arrived at Auburn as the offensive coordinator in 2009, an awe he said it took him a few years to get over. Dye would often wander the halls of the athletics complex or stop by practice, and “he always had the right thing to say.”


I tell you what Dan Lanning would say to that

 
How long you hold her hand and say you're sorry isn't going to make a break-up any better.



That's one sure fire sabahr hire.
