“IG Account Coming Soon”: Football Fans Go Wild as $90 Million Nick Saban Snaps First-Ever Picture on iPhone

Nick Saban has embraced a more relaxed lifestyle after retiring from his illustrious career as a college football coach earlier this year. He often makes headlines for his newfound hobbies like daily chores and golfing. This lighter side of Saban is quite a contrast to his intense persona on the football field. However, many didn’t anticipate Saban’s unexpected foray into technology. The former head coach is known for resisting tech within his team, famously shunning texts and emails, and often criticizing players’ cellphone use. 

The 72-year-old coach has recently surprised everyone by showcasing his photography skills online. This unexpected move has sent the online world into a frenzy. Fans and followers who were used to his past stance on technology are now amazed by his embrace of it. The impact of this “miraculous” event on his fans is genuinely remarkable.
