Nick Saban isn’t just a coach or analyst. He’s a brand in himself. The former Bama head coach has set up a distinct benchmark in his ever-serious poker face, in his discipline, gestures, and even in the attire of choice. Among a lot of quintessential Saban features’, his giant hat is one of the head turners. Imagining a picture of Alabama legend Nick Saban without his signature hat would be a pretty tough job for any classic fan. Good news, folks! Now, you can add this to your wardrobe, as daughter Kristen Saban exposed his ‘influencer’ dad on her latest IG story.

Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristen Saban, has always been quite attached to his coach dad’s colossal professional flash. She has always been in the spotlight for his various comments and posts on the Bama. Recently, during Thanksgiving week, Kristen fell victim to online trolling for her outfit choice and walking style. But the fashion icon took no time to silence her critics in a hilarious counter post.

Kristen knows how to flaunt outfits and attire and what is special about each of the garments. When the fashionista daughter hyped her father’s merch (hat), it’s expected she will pit it out with a pinch of drama. The 27-year-old revealed a series of Nick Saban’s alike hats available on Amazon. She called his dad ‘Nick, the influencer‘ and assured fans, noting ‘‘Don’t yall worry, you already know I am making a roundup of hats for you’.’

The hilarious dad-daughter banter is on full display! Nick Saban isn’t the same strict coach as his family. He’s an outright family man and brings his lighter side out whenever he is in a family get-together. Also, since his retirement, Saban slowly but steadily started to give up his stoic, angry man persona. To steadfast your belief, you can take note of Kristen’s social media post, where she shared a photo of Saban and his wife, Miss Terry, holding each other’s hands on their 53rd wedding anniversary.

But let’s just not be fooled. The Alabama mogul is still on his guard in his workplace, allowing nobody to blur the invisible lines between fun and disrespect.

Saban’s hat has been making a lot of noise on College Football Game Day. Shane Gillis, a big Notre Dame fan, joined Pat McAfee on the show with ESPN in South Bend for the big game and tried to take a light dig at former Alabama coach Saban. But, unfortunately, the College GameDay set turned into a little heavy after the comedian rubbed the staid coach the wrong way.

What’s your perspective on:

Nick Saban as an influencer—Is this the new era of sports legends turning fashion icons?

Have an interesting take?

Gillis said the Notre Dame-Indiana showdown ‘felt different’ as ‘Now. that everybody can pay their players, Notre Dame has a shot. Not just the SEC and Coach Saban.” That was not it. Gillis dug his own danger, stretching it to a little farther. He called Saban a cheater. ”I don’t think the SEC paid players ever. I’m joking – is this not a fun show? Is this a serious show? Alabama Jones is very serious. Get the whip, Indy,’‘ Gillies said, Saban’s signature hat that resembled Indiana Jones.”

Our great old man didn’t take that dig sportingly. The displeasure was clearly written on his face, and a fiery comeback.

”I do believe in integrity. I just tried to run the program that way so players had a better chance to be successful in life. We made more money in the NFL than any other school. Sixty-one players in the league. That was how we cheated. We developed players,” Saban replied, propelling the comedian guest to say sorry for his disrespectful comments.

The message is clear. Never mess with Nick Saban and his hat unless you’re Kristen Saban.
