Alabama Crimson Tide is off to a great start this season with their no-loss series. However, in a recent event, a much more significant fact came to light about Bama. Which emphasized the proclamation of why former Alabama’s head coach Nick Saban is one of the most remarkable coaches in college football history. Let’s dig into it.

Today, Donald De La Haye, the well-known YouTuber, and kicker for Brahmas UFL, documented his visit to the University of Alabama’s Bryant-Denny Stadium Tuscaloosa’s $288 million football facility on his YouTube channel Deestroying. In the intro of the video Alabama’s star wide receiver Jalen Hamilton highlights the Tide’s overall achievements throughout the seasons, saying, “They know about winning here 18 national championships and 30 SEC championships, and don’t get me started on the facilities.” The person who led them to their most successful seasons and luxury facility is none other than Nick Saban.

Alabama saw a series of high-end achievements under Nick Saban’s tenure. The team made 23 bowl game appearances, winning 16 of them. If you think that’s it, then you are wrong. Alabama also secured ten SEC West titles, nine SEC championships, and six national championships. Saban’s teams consistently ranked in the top 4 of national polls from 2008 until his retirement.

In the video, Donald De and Bama’s offensive lineman Tyler Booker explore the trophy room, and De’s first observation was the Heisman Trophy winners. Don’t be surprised to know that there were no Heisman Trophy winners until Nick Saban coached running back Mark Ingram II in 2009, running back Derrick Henry in 2015, wide receiver DeVonta Smith in 2020, and quarterback Bryce Young in 2021 and helped them to become the ultimate Heisman winners.

Donald also mentioned that Alabama has been securing lucrative contracts since 2008, saying, “Contract dollars since 2008: 2.36 billion.” The year Saban joined. Now you’re aware of what he did to help Alabama build a $288 million football facility. And why is he the OG head coach? This season when Alabama playing under new head coach Kalen DeBoer’s guidance, let’s see what Nick Saban has to say about his coaching styles and techniques.

Nick Saban on Kalen DeBoer’s coaching style

Now that the Crimson Tide has entered this season under new head coach Kalen DeBoer, there is no doubt left in his coaching style. The team is currently standing on a 4-0 win streak and showcasing remarkable gameplay. Even former Bama head coach Nick Saban appreciated DeBoer’s efforts towards the team. During his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Saban said, “I’ve been really impressed with him.” Nick Saban also acknowledged the criticism and backlash faced by Kalen DeBoer when he assumed control of Alabama, a team renowned for its winning record. Nick said, “He’s done a fabulous job, in my opinion, of transitioning, because this is probably one of the most difficult things, too.”

In the podcast, Saban also highlighted the fact that taking over an unsuccessful program is easy as the changes will be appreciated, but when you take over a high-achieving program like Alabama, you know fans will be behind every small mistake the team makes as they hate change. Well, after Alabama’s remarkable 41-34 win against the Georgia Bulldogs, that’s not a concern anymore.

Let’s see if the team could maintain their winning streak in their Saturday game against Vanderbilt or if there might be a change in Nick Saban’s opinion on Kalen DeBoer’s coaching techniques.
