On June 7, 2021, Saban agreed to a contract extension with Alabama. The deal runs through the 2028 season. In his 16th season, Alabama started the season #1 in the preseason AP and Coaches poll, marking the 15th consecutive season the Tide have been ranked at the top. It’s the seventh time Alabama has started the season No. 1 under Saban. He has been in 9 National title game appearances in 13 years.
Saban is the greatest college football coach in history. The GOAT. The statistics prove it.
I wouldn't vote against him in making the final four this season.
We’ll see how they do against Ole Miss in Oxford. We’ll see if The Lane Train derails Bama’s title hopes.
Great post! I agree! Saban’s the Donald Trump of college ball.
All you speak is true Kemosabe, but Texas A&M came within 4 of upset last week and Texas was only one point back when gun went off. Sabin is great. I knew him back at Ohio State. Very driven, smart, charismatic to the youts. A remarkable career. Yes, he may be the GOAT but we also have to consider Paterno, Bowden, Woody, Bear, et al. Nick does not even make this list of the top 26 winningest coaches.

re: Saban, Alabama.
The Tides defense highlights the changes coming to college football. They once had so much talent and depth that few could rival.
NIL (name image likeness $) means top players that would usually stick with ‘Bama can be enticed to other schools, rather than playing 2nd fiddle on a ‘Bama team.
American fascination with football means virtually every Div. 1 school now gets TV time which is important for those tired of bench warming.
Parity is on the way. Bama won’t disappear but their dominance is almost over.
Texas gets “the best Manning” next year.
Agree AB ? You probably couldn’t appreciate the Tennessee mayhem, but it was great to see, and to have orange-checker shirted Peyton preside over the proceedings.
