Pick a word to describe how you felt when you heard the news of Nick Saban’s retirement on Wednesday and chances are Jake Coker can relate.
The former quarterback, who led the Crimson Tide to one of Saban’s six Alabama national championships, couldn’t believe the news.
“Shocked really,” Coker told AL.com on Wednesday night. “Can’t believe it. Honestly, when I saw that, it was an emotional, weird landmark to reach. To play for coach Saban, he meant so much to me as a mentor, as a leader I have been able to follow for a certain period of time in my life.”
