Legendary Alabama Coach Nick Saban Bids Farewell
Tumblr media
Nick Saban, widely hailed as the greatest college football coach, has announced his retirement after an illustrious 17-year run at Alabama, leaving behind a legacy of 6 national titles.
A Legendary Coaching Career
Saban, 72, led the Crimson Tide to unprecedented success, securing six national championships in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, and 2020. His final championship in 2020 marked his seventh national title, surpassing the legendary Bear Bryant. "The goal was always to help players create more value for their future, be the best player they could be, and be more successful in life because they were part of the program," Saban stated. https://twitter.com/BruceFeldmanCFB/status/1745207149960335652
Unprecedented Achievements
Saban's impact extended beyond championships. Under his guidance, Alabama produced four Heisman Trophy winners: Mark Ingram II (2009), Derrick Henry (2015), DeVonta Smith (2020), and the most recent, Bryce Young in 2021. "A truly remarkable career for Coach Saban," praised Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne. "What an honor it has been for us to have a front-row seat to one of the best to ever do it." https://twitter.com/mikerodak/status/1745244963128938533
Unmatched Success and Records
Saban's teams achieved winning seasons every year since 2008, culminating in a 12-2 record for the 2023 season. His influence reached the NFL, boasting an impressive 49 first-round draft picks, a testament to his coaching prowess. "There was no more perfect pairing than Saban and Alabama," with fans holding him in the highest regard, noted the reports.
The Future of Alabama Football
As the Alabama coaching chapter closes, attention turns to Saban's successor. Potential candidates include Dan Lanning, Steve Sarkisian, Dabo Swinney, Kalen DeBoer, and Mike Norvell. The task ahead involves maintaining the impressive roster talent composition and ensuring a smooth transition. "Alabama's head coaching search is the top priority," emphasized Alabama staff writer Kennington Smith III. https://twitter.com/SkinnyKenny_/status/1745245248656167001
Reflecting on a Legacy
Saban's retirement prompts reflection on his coaching philosophy encapsulated in the "process" - emphasizing hard work, discipline, and relentless pursuit of goals. His wife, "Miss Terry," expressed hope that their legacy extends beyond victories to making a positive difference in people's lives. "The rules for the game of football may change, but the 'process' will never go out of style," noted Terry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taeruJFmZNk In conclusion, Nick Saban's retirement marks the end of an era in college football, leaving an indelible mark on Alabama's program and the sport as a whole. His legacy goes beyond championships, emphasizing the enduring values of hard work and discipline. Read the full article

Happy Birthday to #DeVontaSmith, #WideReceiver for the #PhiladelphiaEagles of the #NationalFootballLeague (#NFL). He played college football at the #UniversityOfAlabama, where he recorded over 1,800 yards with 23 touchdowns as a senior in 2020. Smith was awarded the #HeismanTrophy for his accomplishments alongside several other awards and honors. He was the first wide receiver to win the Heisman since Desmond Howard in 1991 and only the fourth overall. He also won two national championships while at Alabama prior to being selected by the Eagles tenth overall in the 2021 #NFLDraft. He turned 24 today.

#JamesDonaldson On #MentalHealth – #JohnnyManziel Says He Attempted #Suicide After Browns Cut Him In 2016: Reports
Tumblr media
By Scott Thompson #JohnnyManziel revealed in a new documentary he attempted #suicide after the Cleveland Browns cut him in 2016.  "Untold: Johnny Football," scheduled to release Tuesday, is the latest of the Netflix series that gives an inside look at one of the top football stars of the 21st century who ultimately flamed out of the NFL despite winning the 2012 #HeismanTrophy at Texas A&M.  His lack of success in the league, mixed with #substanceabuseissues and a #bipolardisorder diagnosis, left Manziel seeing no way out.  KANSAS CITY, MO - DECEMBER 27: Quarterback #JohnnyManziel #2 of the Cleveland Browns walks off the field, after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs on December 27, 2015 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. "I had planned to do everything I wanted to do at that point in my life, spend as much money as I possibly could and then my plan was to take my life," Manziel explained in the documentary, per multiple reports. In the documentary, Manziel said that following the 2015 NFL season, his second in the league during which he went 2-4 as a starter with Cleveland, he began using #OxyContin and #cocaine on a daily basis, per multiple reports.  He was 215 pounds in January of that year, and by the time September rolled around, he had dropped to 175 pounds.  More off-the-field problems came in January 2016, when his girlfriend accused him of hitting and threatening her, which led to a misdemeanor assault charge.  Though lawyers reached an agreement with officials to get the charge dropped under conditions, the Browns, after using their first-round pick on him during the 2014 NFL Draft, cut him before the start of his third NFL season.  Manziel was later diagnosed with #bipolardisorder that year, he said in the documentary, according to multiple reports. However, he refused to go to rehab, and his #substanceabuse issues got worse.  #James Donaldson notes:Welcome to the “next chapter” of my life… being a voice and an advocate for #mentalhealthawarenessandsuicideprevention, especially pertaining to our younger generation of students and student-athletes.Getting men to speak up and reach out for help and assistance is one of my passions. Us men need to not suffer in silence or drown our sorrows in alcohol, hang out at bars and strip joints, or get involved with drug use.Having gone through a recent bout of #depression and #suicidalthoughts myself, I realize now, that I can make a huge difference in the lives of so many by sharing my story, and by sharing various resources I come across as I work in this space.  #http://bit.ly/JamesMentalHealthArticleFind out more about the work I do on my 501c3 non-profit foundationwebsite www.yourgiftoflife.org Order your copy of James Donaldson's latest book,#CelebratingYourGiftofLife: From The Verge of Suicide to a Life of Purpose and Joy www.celebratingyourgiftoflife.com The quarterback said he went on a "$5 million bender" before ultimately trying to take his own life.  "I wanted to get as bad as humanly possible to where it made sense, and it made it seem like an excuse and an out for me." Manziel bought a gun prior to his "bender" to ultimately carry out his #suicideattempt. But it didn’t work.  "Still, to this day, don’t know what happened. But the gun just clicked on me," Manziel said in the documentary, per reports.  The #suicideattempt gave Manziel a new perspective on life. Despite a broken family relationship because he refused to get treatment, Manziel returned home to Texas, where he began his recovery.  "It’s been a long, long road, and I don’t know if it’s been great or it’s been bad — that’s kind of still up for debate," Paul Manziel, his father, said in the documentary, per reports. "But we’re blessed. And he’s still with us. And we can mend all the fences still. "I think Johnny’s got a lot better days coming than what he’s had." COLLEGE STATION, TX - SEPTEMBER 14: #JohnnyManziel #2 of the Texas A&M Aggies celebrates after throwing a first quarter touchdown during a game against the Alabama Crimson Tide at Kyle Field on September 14, 2013 in College Station, Texas. He was a dual threat quarterback who shocked the world when he led the Aggies into Tuscaloosa to face the Alabama Crimson Tide and blew up their highly-ranked defense in one of the most hostile college football environments in the country. Texas A&M won 29-24 that night, and Manziel threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 92 yards to beat the No. 1-ranked team.  But Manziel admitted his popularity, which seemed to come immediately during that Heisman Trophy season, was hard to handle.  And though it was known Manziel dealt with demons off the field, few knew until now just how low things got for him.    If you are having thoughts of #suicide, call or text #988 to reach the #NationalSuicidePreventionLifeline or go to SpeakingOfSuicide.com/resources for a list of additional resources.
