The retirement of Alabama coach Nick Saban has triggered a significant reshuffling within the college football landscape. This period of upheaval has led to coaching changes at three West Coast schools: Washington, Arizona, and San Jose State. The impact of Saban's departure extends beyond these institutions, affecting the entire nation's college football programs, including Oklahoma University (OU), Oklahoma State University (OSU), and others. The magnitude of this shift is highlighted by the numbers: 24 schools, 53 coaches, and more than four dozen players have been impacted. As of the latest reports, a total of 114 coaches and players have moved schools following Saban's retirement. Craig Bohl, Executive Director of the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), discussed the various issues facing college football during this time of change on @365sportsYT, addressing both the positive and negative aspects of the sport's current state.
