Former Alabama coach Nick Saban Is enjoying his retirement. The seven-time national championship-winning coach is worth $80 million, per celebritynetvalue.com. He retired from coaching at the beginning of the year and has spent his time doing other things.

Saban has noticed that some of the things he does now are different from when he was the Alabama coach. One of these is driving and being caught in traffic. He spoke to Kirk Herbstreit on Saturday's edition of the "Walks with Ben" podcast about how retirement has changed him.

"I was on the bridge the other day, and traffic was backed up. I would be the guy who would get into the other lane and go all the way around before cutting in and everybody's cussing you. I was sitting there, and I looked at Miss Terry, and said, 'You know, last year, that would have been me. But now i am happy to sit here and wait my turn,'" Saban said.

Nick Saban hilariously responds to Kalen DeBoer

While he is not coaching, Nick Saban still appears on television. He is now part of the College Game Day broadcast, with Pat McAfee and Kirk Herbstreit.

On Saturday, College GameDay was broadcast from Saban's old stomping ground in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. They are there as the Alabama Crimson Tide will face the Georgia Bulldogs in one of the greatest games of the season.

During the broadcast, present Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer came onto the show and spoke about how he has been getting on in his first few games as the coach. But he was also asked if he had an advantage over other potential contenders due to his time with the Washington Huskies.

At this point, Saban hilariously interrupted and said:

“The real advantage you had was they were really tired of my ass.”

Comments like this show Saban's gone from this no-nonsense coach who gets results to someone a lot relaxed.
