Nick Saban is more than a college football coach and public figure in the Tuscaloosa community.
He is a father figure for athletes at the University of Alabama and a mentor for the youth that attend his football camps in the summer. When it comes to coaches needing an opportunity, Saban is the one who extends his hand and helps them become successful. A few years ago, the seven-time national champion gave a stirring speech to coaches and players at the Crimson Tide’s indoor practice facility. The gist of Saban’s message was on the importance of listening.
We live in a society where people act like they know everything; however, Saban offered one piece of wisdom in his speech.
