The pride and might of Alabama, Nick Saban, is being honored like no other coach in history. If he hadn’t already etched his name among the Hall of Fame for coaches, the team has ensured that his name will never be buried as the Bryant-Denny Stadium will be renamed under the grand ‘Saban’ name.

Nick Saban, the former HC for the Alabama Crimson Tide, is undoubtedly one of the greatest coaches to ever lead from the sidelines. A legacy that boasts of over 50 years of experience and a resume that is stacked with teams like Michigan State, LSU, and even the Miami Dolphins, found the utmost success with the men in Crimson. Saban brought a wave of prestige to the Alabama team and made them the second most successful franchise by adding 6 trophies and bringing their total to a staggering number of 16. A career that began in 1973 came to its acclaimed end in 2023, but the name of Nick Saban will exist forever within the hearts of every Alabama fan. Among the swarm of fans, Kristen Saban gave an endearing tribute to her father’s legacy by posting a segway of his most iconic moments with the team.

Kristen Saban is “Beyond proud” of her dad

The city of Alabama is the spectator to one of the greatest honors ever awarded to a coach and Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristen, couldn’t be prouder of a legacy that surpassed the standards of greatness in the world of college football. In an emotional tribute to Nick Saban, she posted a video that summarized the entire 17-season career of Saban in Alabama, which will certainly bring a few fans to tears.

The daughter posted the video on her official account and captioned it with, “Leave your legacy. On September 7, “Saban Field” will be introduced at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Beyond proud.” The first three words are a sign that Saban will be remembered for all that he did for the program rather than his physical presence as the stadium will engulf all those who come under the HC’s legacy. Everyone in the entire football community is raising their glasses in the name of Nick Saban but as per the coach, none of it would’ve been possible without his family’s support.

Nick Saban expresses immense gratitude to his wife and daughter

In the entire span of 17 years in Alabama, Nick Saban and his family relocated a total of 17 times! This just goes to show that the family has always had his back and supported him with nothing but constant support as he went on to build one of the most dominant programs in college history. During his speech at the ESPY Awards, he thanked his wife and family for all their love and efforts in an overwhelming message.

Nick Saban and his family have always been close to the team, especially Miss Terry and Kristen, who have been known to have personal relationships with the Alabama players and make them feel at home. In light of everything that they did for the team, Saban said, “You have to have great support from your family. You know, Miss Terry has been the love of my life for 52 years. And she has supported me in every way as my family has. And I certainly appreciate that, because there’s a lot of sacrifices families make in coaching.” Thus, the sacrifices of the family certainly became worth it today as along with the name of Nick Saban, the family can take immense pride in seeing the family name etched onto the title of the stadium, which is a great honor in itself.
