[@ljsmixbox44]

Nick Saban is not only good for college football. He's the best. He believed in hard work. Because it pays off better at the end. He respected the NCAA and NFL. He wasn't a cheater or tried to get over. He worked hard whatever he was doing. Saban did not grow up rich, so he knows what hard work is,and what it takes to become a Champion! He went to Kent State where he played DB 1970-72. The head coach of that team wanted Nick to be a coach. Saban was very intelligent at a young age. He took on tough challenges in his coaching career at a young age. *Saban's career began in 1973 as a graduate assistant at Kent State. *He later made stops as a position coach -- always on defense -- at Syracuse (1977), West Virginia (1978-79), Ohio State (1980-81), Navy (1982), Michigan State (1983-87) and with the Houston Oilers (1988-89) as a DB coach. *He got his first head coaching job in 1990 at Toledo *He spent two seasons with the Cleveland Browns as a defensive coordinator under Bill Belichick from 1991-94. *Nick Saban became the head coach at Michigan State coach 1995-1999. In five seasons with LSU, Saban had a 48-16 record, winning three bowl games, two SEC Championships and 1 National Championship in 2003. *Nick Saban jump back into the NFL as head coach of Miami Dolphins 2005-2006 At Alabama, Nick Saban coached 17 seasons in Tuscaloosa, winning six national championships and 11 SEC championships. He spent 28 seasons as a head coach at the college level. Saban coached Alabama's first four Heisman Trophy winners He leaves Alabama with an absurd 206-29 record, a winning percentage of .877 and a 16-7 record in bowl games. Thank You Coach Nick Saban for teaching the players in college and in the NFL to always be truthful to themselves and the game they love. Because that alone makes us winners!!!

Nick is college football greatest hands down!

[@Zenigundam]

When Nick Saban was hired by Alabama, I thought for sure that he'd return them to prominence just because of all the money that ESPN reported that Alabama was investing in the program. I never thought it'd be 6 titles, though. Still, my favorite title of his remains the 2003 national championship at LSU because Saban wasn't well-known outside of the Big Ten and SEC, and LSU had never been a great football team. Also, America was on his side because Oklahoma did not belong in the Sugar Bowl and caused national outrage. That game put him on the coaching map and set up his career for the next 20 years, from the Dolphins to Bama.
