“Saban just informed his team that he’s retiring,” Low also tweeted.

Saban has won nine SEC championships, most recently leading the Crimson Tide to an 11-1 season in which they were SEC champions, undefeated in the conference, and competed in the Rose Bowl.

Saban maintains a 292-71-1 record in 28 seasons as an FBS head coach.
