There’s more to Saban than just being a coach

He is vilified. He is criticized for his news conference rants. Years ago, he was the poster child for a controversial practice known as “grayshirting.”

But I know a different Nick Saban. I’ve seen a different Nick Saban.

When I think of Nick Saban, I think of him as a high-intensity coach, yes, but also a caring husband. One of my most impactful memories of the 2015 season is seeing him walk in hand in hand with his wife to his post-game media responsibilities.

MEETING NICK SABAN

I go back a long way with Nick Saban.
