Nick Saban has quickly become one of the most prominent voices calling for changes to college football's current system. But there's one question that continues to linger: Why is Saban being tasked with helping fix a sport that many believe he helped shape into what it is today? On this episode, Garrett Searight examines Saban's influence on the modern era of college football, from roster management and recruiting to conference realignment, NIL, and the transfer portal. While many of today's challenges weren't created by one coach alone, Saban's dominance helped accelerate trends that changed the sport forever. How much responsibility does the former Alabama coach deserve? And is he still the right person to help guide college football through its next major transformation?
