Nicholas Lou Saban Jr., born on October 31, 1951, is widely regarded as one of the greatest football coaches in the history of the sport. Over his illustrious career, Saban has left an indelible mark on both college and professional football. He served as head coach for several prominent programs, including Louisiana State University (LSU), Michigan State University, the University of Toledo, and most notably, the University of Alabama. His tenure at Alabama, from 2007 to 2023, solidified his legacy as a coaching legend, where he led the Crimson Tide to six national championships, making him one of the most successful coaches in college football history.

Saban's coaching career is highlighted by his unprecedented seven national championships, the most by any coach in college football history. His first title came in 2003 when he led the LSU Tigers to a BCS National Championship. He then went on to dominate the college football landscape with Alabama, winning national titles in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, and 2020. Saban's ability to consistently build championship-caliber teams has earned him a reputation as a master strategist and motivator. He is also the first coach to win national championships with two different Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) schools since the inception of the AP Poll in 1936.

In addition to his national championships, Saban has coached four Heisman Trophy winners during his time at Alabama: Mark Ingram II in 2009, Derrick Henry in 2015, DeVonta Smith in 2020, and Bryce Young in 2021. His ability to develop top-tier talent and prepare players for the next level has made him a revered figure in the football world. Saban's career record as a college head coach stands at an impressive 292–71–1, further cementing his status as one of the most successful and respected coaches in the history of the sport.

Saban's contributions to the game have not gone unnoticed, as he was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 2013. His influence extends beyond the field, as he has become a prominent figure in sports media, serving as an analyst for ESPN's College GameDay.
