Jumbo Package: Saban a finalist for AP Coach of the Year, winner announced today

Happy Monday, everyone. There isn’t a ton to report as the Tide continue their traditional camp-style bowl season workouts. The big news of the day is the AP Coach of the Year award, for which Nick Saban is a finalist.

UCF’s Josh Heupel, Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly and Alabama’s Nick Saban are the finalists for The Associated Press national college football coach of the year after leading their teams to unbeaten regular seasons.

The winner will be announced Monday at noon EST.

Saban rarely wins any of these awards as voters hold the talent level against him, somehow discounting the recruiting and player development part of the job that is so critical.
