Nick Saban’s Daughter Kristen Leaves Fans Teary Eyed With Father’s Alabama Coronation Glimpses

Oh, what a great day to be a Bama fan! The stadium was covered in an ocean of Crimson at the Bryant-Denny Stadium and the Saban field, where the legendary coach along with his family stood tall in an aura of pride and glory. After 17 years of taking the Alabama Crimson Tide to heights it’s never witnessed before, Nick Saban decided to bow out from coaching this year but his efforts and hard work will be etched on to the hearts of every football fan who walks in Tuscaloosa till day. The former HC was heard speaking up on what it’s been like to be part of the culture for so long and everyone who looked on to Saban on Sunday was on the very verge of tears or was breaking down already, no in-between.

Kristen Saban took to Instagram on 10th September and released a snippet from the Bryant-Denny Stadium where Saban was honored by the organization for the blood, sweat, and tears he poured in for the ultimate success of the team. In a heartfelt speech, Saban was heard thanking the fans and the Alabama fans for giving him unconditional love throughout the years. He was heard saying, “Ladies and gentlemen. I hope that this field being honored, is a representative of how we represented you, the University of Alabama. A big thank you to you, the fans, who have given us some of the greatest memories anybody could ever imagine in traditional football.”

Saban’s speech moved everyone in the stadium as well as everyone who saw it on their television screens. So much so that even after Kristen posted a video of Saban’s speech on Instagram 3 days later, the fans in the comments couldn’t stop feeling emotional. One teary-eyed fan commented, “Well. I wasn’t gonna cry today but here we are.” Indeed, and this person wasn’t the only one. Kristen’s daughter was flooded with comments and tears, making it evident what the impact of the Saban family has been on the world of college football, and especially the people of Alabama. Yet, that’s not all. Compiled below is a list of other fans who were practically bawling on hearing Saban speak in Kristen’s video clip.

Nick Saban’s words of gratitude bring fans to their breakdowns

The community of the Crimson Tide has been so used to seeing Saban on the sidelines that they forgot about the possibility that such an immense change could ever actually occur. Sure, Kalen DeBoer is an excellent coach who is yet to prove himself, but come whoever may, it will never be Saban and the legacy he built in Tuscaloosa. As such, the fans’ emotional reactions were to be expected as they let loose their feelings in the comments section.

This fan expressed immense gratitude for Saban and everything he did for Alabama and commented, “Crying wasn’t on my bingo card today 🥹🥹🥹. So deserved! Thank y’all for everything ❤️❤️”

Another fan spoke on how Saban deserved such a prestigious honor and commented, “Well deserved🥺❤️👏, We love ya’ll🥺 RTR❤️🐘”

Even fans of other teams like Auburn were seen sharing their love for Saban, making it evident that his reputation stretches beyond the borders of Alabama. The comment read, “I am a die hard Auburn fan, but I am a HUUUUGE Saban fan. Well deserved”

Lastly, this fan perfectly summarised everyone’s feelings and congratulated the Saban family with a thorough message which said, “This was a long time coming, and so well-deserved. Congratulations to your dad, and the whole Saban family! ❤️ROLL TIDE FOREVER!! 🏈🐘”

Thus, Saban will move on to the next venture of his life but for the fans of Alabama and the community of college football, his name will live on forever as the GOAT of football.
