Not a bama fan but as a human I have nothing but respect for saban. He s a multi-time champion with bama and it took him a long time to find his team, and it clearly shows where he belongs and enjoys being, saban is a one of the greatest to coach a college team, Much Love for saban.
Though to do when Coke is a sponsor (coke makes Dasani). You'd think there'd be an assistant somewhere pouring propel into Dasani bottles, though! haha
He don't drink and don't eat processed shit food like the 99% of Fat sports fans. That's why he has energy! Listen in the beginning of the vid. He says your mood comes from sleep and recovery!
Cool to see a glimpse of his wry sense of humor, yet still teaching with detail. Easy to see, with this video, why he is so good. He clearly enjoys his job and he is showing no signs of slowing down. Grateful that Mal Moore was able to attain his services 10 years ago!
Jarad Hollis he is the greatest college coach of all time, not the greatest coach, he did terrible in the NFL, but he is without a doubt the greatest college coach of all time, I can't argue that
It was so dismal for so long before Saban arrived at Bama. I know sometimes we're obnoxious fans, but we've had something to be grateful for with a coach like him.
ImaybetotallywrongbutI'ma...dancin' fool I was born in 94, and my dad being the huge Bama fan he is, as soon as he could, had me watching Alabama football with him. The earliest football memory I have is watching Bama get dealt with by Tennessee...on a path to going 4-9. Might've been Shula's first year. He had recorded on VHS the 92 sugar bowl against Miami. I watched that almost everyday as a kid as a rehab for bad Bama football lol. Because of those times, I thoroughly appreciate these great times we're having now.
@Andrew Cain You're approaching 30 and I hope you are old and wiser. Shula faced * 3 ranked Aub teams or 75%. They had 13, 9, 11 wins * 4 ranked TN teams or 100% Saban * is 0-5 (0-8 lifetime) against Aub teams that finish with 9 wins. Had he faced the same quality of Aub team that Shula faced, he could very well be 4-12 against Auburn. * has faced 3 ranked TN teams and owns 2. Had he faced the same quality of TN team that Shula faced, he could very well be 11-5 against TN. So, in total, had Saban faced the same quality of TN and Aub team Shula faced his record might very be 15-17 against them vs 26-6 and NO WAY he even plays for as many NCs esp in years where he loses to both. NO WAY!
Coach got joke. I love Saban because he doesn't take crap from anyone. Players like him because he get in those asses and joke with them at the same time. Saban is a great coach.
I am a coach and as a coach, I look up to coach saban. One of the best coaches of all time. He doesn't take crap from anyone always well prepared for games. Love it.
Josh Hurst I Will have post more on saturday because SEC Nation will be in Tuscaloosa this week and there will undoubtedly be more Bama features airing.
Nick Saban shows a lot of passion for this team! The greatest college coach ever to coach the game of football! Anybody that’s ever not liked this coach, is insane. The guy isn’t all just some pissed off coach. It’s cuz he wants to win another championship year after year! Continue his legacy with Alabama
I was on hole 18 on the golf course about to break 80 for the first time, then my dad called and told me nick saban retired and I almost cried in front of two old dudes i got paired with. I shot an 81
Nick Saban is one of the most motivating ppl to me. Even when he doesn’t try to be. Something about his demeanor and the way he carries himself makes me wanna do better and be successful.
Saban didn’t like being a nfl coach, he became a college football coach so he could teach them more. NFL players think they made it, they’re better than people. He came in so he could teach more than football, he helped the graduation rate go up, and these kids to become men. It’s a very interesting story and I hope someone makes a documentary about what saban did to football other than being a good coach.
This is awesome. And I keep hearing and reading so many people comment that Saban wasn't good in the NFL. He actually overachieved with the dolphins. By far the worst NFL roster in 2005 and 2006 and he almost took them to the playoffs. They were 9-7 and finished the year with 6 straight wins in 2005. That's with Gus Ferotte as his QB. The next year he had Joey Harrington and Cleo Lemon as his two starting QBs. Most coaches wouldn't have won 2 games with those guys. Went 6-10. It's widely known if the dolphins would've signed Drew Brees, Saban would've never left for Bama. Imagine how Bama and all of college football would be all these years without Nick Saban. Interest in college football is at an all time high due muchly to him. One can argue against him being the best coach in college football history but you can't argue in him being the most influential coach in college football history
I am a die hard Bama fan. If I had a son who had an opportunity to play D1 College Football I would definitely try to encourage him to play for Coach Saban. Saban teaches his players how to become better people while he's teaching them to become better football players. Are there any other college football programs that work with their players on how to do a proper resume or a job interview? Bama does.
I'm a Vol fan (yes I know, we have been mediocre for some time), but I can't help but respect the hell out of Saban. This is a truly driven coach that challenges his players. There's a reason Bama has been so great the last decade plus.
Why shouldn't he coach them like an NFL team? Isn't this college? College is for learning what you need to know for your chosen profession. I would say Coach Saban has a pretty good success rate in moving his students into the NFL. Their draft statistics are pretty impressive.
I hate Bama the way people hate Tom Brady. But my god I got respect for this man and the way he coaches just makes me excited watching it. A movie on this guys legacy is a must.
I hate Alabama and hope they lose just about every game but I have great respect for Coach Saban. He’s without question the GOAT! Go Dawgs!!! 2021 National Champs!
From a distance Saban and that waterboy look like they’re having an important convo but really they’re just talking about Propel water and bigger shoes
Brendan Ryan The team that perform better wins. Notrw Dame definitely changed and learned so much after getting destroyed by Bama. To me the Fighting Irish knew the Real Southern Football the hard way. On par with Georgia in my opinion. If the Irish can keep this up. The National Championship isn't very very far.
" We had some teams around here that were willing to do what they needed to do and we had some teams that weren't " that's the difference between Alabama and everyone else . Bottom line stuff .
In my ongoing effort to help validate Saban's *"caveat covered NCs"*, I calculated this stat this afternoon.
Wouldn't a great coach help validate his "greatness" by winning his 1st ever playoff game? Playoff coaches grouped by winners and losers of 1st PO game they coached. Look at the group that won their 1st vs the group that didn't. Also, take into account how many years they had been coaching. *"NONE of the bottom group are NC winning coaches in the PO era, except Saban."*
Team Coach Yrs 1st PO Won Clem Dabo 7 2015 Yes GA.. Herbie 2 2017 Yes LSU. Oregon 3 2019 Yes OR... Helfrich 2 2014 Yes OSU Meyer 3 2014 Yes
AL *"Saban"* 8 2014 No Cinci Fickell 5 2021 No FSU Fisher 5 2014 No MI Harb. 7 2021 No MSU Danto. 9 2015 No ND Kelly 9 2018 No OK Stoops 17 2015 No OK Riley 1 2017 No OSU Ryan 1 2019 No WA Peter. 3 2016 No
* Yrs coached at school when 1st PO game played
Damn, I failed again. The "greatest" ever lost his 1st.
Fortunately, it was not his "first" rodeo. Coach Saban won his first national championship in the 2003 season. In fact, he went 4-0 in national championship games before anyone ever won a "playoff" game, or before losing his first playoff game... because the CFB playoffs didn't start until 2014. After losing to Ohio St. in 2014, he's never lost another playoff game... and gone on to win 3 more national titles. No team/coach in college football history has a resume (on any single bullet point) that comes close to accomplishing what coach Saban has within a 16 year span. Roll Tide. 👍
@@grahamfam03 LOL. I am building my case with a ton of reasonable doubt, a ton, as to why he has all those NCs. Let's start with NCs since 78 or was it 79 that Bryant won his last outright? ~37 NCs (not including independents) Only 6 of those came by either, the winning coach 1) Not being his conf winner, or 2) Playing a coach that didn't win his conf. You know, all things being equal, an easier path to a NC. The count: 6. Saban 4, Herbie 1, Coker 1. It's not fair in the least. 2009 suppose Meyer looks into his crystal ball and says, "wait, Saban will play in 2 NC games in the future and will not have to even play in the SECC game. FL is #1. It does me absolutely no good to play in that game. I have everything to lose. And he would have been spot on. Yes, all Saban could do was play in the system that existed. And Osborne has 2 NC championships bec he was playing in the Big Easy too. At the time, the conference's SOS was at the bottom of all conferences, except the MAC. True, honest football fans will not give Saban a pass. I sure as hell won't and I am a Bama grad. I can go on and on with the reasonable doubt case against Saban.
@ROLL TIDE Graham We know Saban has never beaten an Auburn team that finishes with at least 9 wins. 0-8 and not one of his NCs have come through at good Auburn team. What else do we know. He was 1-3 vs Spurrier. Spurrier finished with at least 9 wins the 3 years he won. He was 0-2 against Osborne. Ok great team but still 0-2 against team that finished with at least 9 wins. Joe Tiller: Saban played 2, 9 wins Purdue teams and lost. Alverez: Saban only played 1 9 win WI team and lost. One day, I will go down this path. He's tied with Dabo when Dabo has 9 wins. Tied with Meyer. Same Keyword is tied. Great doesn't tie. Nothing at all to this point indicates greatness.
@@grahamfam03 Saban's record at LSU against teams that finished with 9 wins. 2000 beat 1, 9 win team GT. lost to 2, 9 win teams 2001 beat and lost to 11 win TN team lost to Spurrier beat 10 win IL team 2002 beat 10 win VT team lost to 9 win Aub team lost to 10 win AL team lost to 9 win Ark team lost to 11 win TX team 2003 beat 11 win GA team beat 10 win Ole Miss team beat 9 win Ark team beat 11 win GA team beat 12-2 OU team but should have played USC. 2004 lost to 13 win Aub team lost to 10 win GA team lost to 10 win Iowa 1st unverified pass. At LSU, againt teams that finished with 9 wins Won 9, Lost 11. That is great?
@@grahamfam03 Shula faced 7 of 8 ranked TN and Aub teams. 88% Saban has faced 12/32 ranked TN and Aub teams. 38% Shula faced 3 Aub teams that finished with 13, 9, 11 wins. 75% We know Saban can't beat a 9 win Aub team. Let's do the math. 16 games * 75% and Saban wins 4. If he plays the quality of TN and Aub team that Shula did, he may have 2 NCs at Bama. Losing late to both would absolutely knock him out of contention. I have so much more reasonable doubt.
He seems like a good college coach, don't know about the NFL. Of course, his school always gets the best high school players, so it's hard to put him on a pedestal. Of course, Clemson took em down. Schedule is very weak year in and year out, of course, many of the SEC teams are not very good. College needs a new system, where it takes the top 28 teams of the previous year's rankings and divides those teams into four divisions of seven. For example Division One would consist of ranked teams: 1, 8, 9, 16, 17, 24, and 25. And Division two would be teams: 2, 7, 10, 15, 18, 23, and 26. And so on. Now that would be AWESOME and do away with the SEC and all these stupid blowout games that no one wants to watch.
His "school" gets the best players? Who do you think does the recruiting? The Dean of Students? One of the reasons Saban is so successful is that he's one of (if not THE) best recruiters out there. His school doesn't get the best players, HE gets the school the best players. You'll never see another system for dividing the teams, because you would lose all of the best rivalry games, and that helps keep college FB's popularity, no matter the team records. Here's an idea: Let's keep everyone in the same conferences, have them play each other throughout the regular season, with some non-conference games peppered in. Then, we'll have the conferences play their own conference championships, to determine the best in each. THEN, (and here's the real doozy), we'll have the top 4 teams in the country play each other, regardless of conference, in a small playoff to determine the National Champion. What do you think?
Exactly. No matter if the game is a blowout fans live for things like Third Sat in Oct, The Egg Bowl, Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, Red River Shootout, etc. Some of these teams have played each other for over a century. College football is all about tradition and that is what makes it great.
Wow you are so intelligent, someone from the college system will find this and implement it and before you know it the whole system will be changed because of your insightful comment..

SONNY JOOV don't know who your team is but your comment shows you have a lot of class
SONNY JOOV ROLL FKN TIDE!!!!!!
uh no fcking duh. hes the greatest college coach of all time stop acting like u thought of something original
Hey Jared, shut the fuck up.
I am a Boomer Sooner for life, but I have nothing but respect for Coach Saban as well. He's the real deal.
I can’t get over how much actual coaching he still does. He’s still out there hammering technique like a position coach! Wow
When it's fun for you it doesn't feel like work
"It's not about what you want, its about what you're willing to do to achieve it".. those some deep words yo
Goat lingo
If Saban wants Propel, you better get the man the damn Propel! =)
Though to do when Coke is a sponsor (coke makes Dasani). You'd think there'd be an assistant somewhere pouring propel into Dasani bottles, though! haha
And some comfortable shoes!!!! Love coach saban❤🏆🐘
Period. Point blank!!!
That's what I'm saying! Go get the damn propel
This man damn near 70 yrs old and he dont get tired!!
When he dies they will bury him at the 50 yd line at Bryant Denny.
He don't drink and don't eat processed shit food like the 99% of Fat sports fans. That's why he has energy! Listen in the beginning of the vid. He says your mood comes from sleep and recovery!

'I am in a good mood'. To many awesome quotables here. Awesome guy.
I don't care what anyone says... he is the GREATEST COACH OF ALL TIME!!
Jarad Hollis yes he is
DAMN RIGHT
Belichick might have something to say about that
veneta72 well they both have 5 rings

Shula faced

* 4 ranked TN teams or 100%

* is 0-5 (0-8 lifetime) against Aub teams that finish with 9 wins. Had he faced the same quality of Aub team that Shula faced, he could very well be 4-12 against Auburn.

Trying to compare nick to Mike Shula with stupid numbers, the only number that matters is 6 and counting
Had to see this one
Coach got joke. I love Saban because he doesn't take crap from anyone. Players like him because he get in those asses and joke with them at the same time. Saban is a great coach.
He kinda remind me of bill parcells but NCAA version..in that joking tough love maner.
The man is the best I’ve seen in my 40+ years. Plain and simple. I’d give anything to have him at UT. Bama is lucky.
I am a coach and as a coach, I look up to coach saban. One of the best coaches of all time. He doesn't take crap from anyone always well prepared for games. Love it.
And people wonder why Alabama is so good. Id give anything to be in this program
This man is on another level than everyone else.
Dabo Swinney: Hold my beer
More of these PLEASE!!!

Not just a coach. he's a motivator a mentor a father figure to these men. Hard work and discipline will always triumph over talent.
I was on hole 18 on the golf course about to break 80 for the first time, then my dad called and told me nick saban retired and I almost cried in front of two old dudes i got paired with. I shot an 81
The Greatest to ever do it he restored Alabama football from mediocrity to a dynasty when he was in 2007 thank you Coach Nick Saban
"Tell me what you can do?" "Looks like not much!" #ImDead 😅 #BlowTheHorn
Nick Saban is one of the most motivating ppl to me. Even when he doesn’t try to be. Something about his demeanor and the way he carries himself makes me wanna do better and be successful.

As college coach's go, he is the G.O.A.T. The absolute master of the game and supreme motivator, teacher, kindler of hate.

Classic Saban...ROLL TIDE!!!
I'm a Vol fan (yes I know, we have been mediocre for some time), but I can't help but respect the hell out of Saban. This is a truly driven coach that challenges his players. There's a reason Bama has been so great the last decade plus.
All bow and give homage to the king.
He might be the greatest.
As a USC fan I respect Saban even though he was ASS in the NFL, I respect him not leaving like What Pete carol did. And made a winning program
He coaches that team like an NFL team instead of a NCAA team. It's like steroids for coaching.
yeah he balled out wit miami dude
yeah he balled out wit miami dude
yeah he balled out wit miami dude

Why shouldn't he coach them like an NFL team? Isn't this college? College is for learning what you need to know for your chosen profession. I would say Coach Saban has a pretty good success rate in moving his students into the NFL. Their draft statistics are pretty impressive.
I like Saben, not my favorite coach but I do have more respect for him than a lot of college coaches.
1:56 the mariners had 5 errors in a inning
Love Alabama crimson tide best coach Nick Sadan
As a MSU lifelong Fan all I have to say is. Roll Tide. 🤟
What's the story behind this video? Is there a longer version of this?
Love my coach, Wouldn't trade him for any other coach in football ,High school college or pro
Jalen Hurts, travon diggs, mincah Fitzpatrick, devontae smith, Calvin Ridley. Just from this short clip 😂😂
Now number 2 for Bama is at Oklahoma
RTR! Bama forever ♥️🐘♥️🐘
Do the players ever go to classes, or do they just practice fuhbah?
The bear was the best coach of all time but nick saban is one of the greatest coaches of all time
Let us not forget the Bear. I also respect Saban.
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐘🐘🐘 Roll Tide!!!!
What's the musical composition?
That’s my coach
I like the part when Calvin Ridley tells Nick Saban he was wide open and yes ladies and gentlemen Jalen Hurts still missed him.
No wonder they're almost unbeatable.
"...I just got wide feet man"
4:40 Preach Bishop, Roll Tide
It's like going to boot camp cause Nick Saban wants perfection
Nick saban has personal servants 😂😂 where’s my drink
Easy to see why the highest paid NFL player is in this video. Cool
Hate LSU couldn't keep this man 😥
I hate Bama the way people hate Tom Brady. But my god I got respect for this man and the way he coaches just makes me excited watching it. A movie on this guys legacy is a must.
Once he retires that will be the craziest documentary/ movie. He really is the greatest of all time
he is a great coach old school dinosaur
BLOW THE HORN LET'S GO!
Why is Jake Paul in the thumbnail😂

On the thumbnail it 87 looks like Jake paul
Great coach. Hate bama tho
brandon imperial I'm curious, explain why
lol why? Because they're good?
I dislike bama as well! What do you know you can respect a team and what they have done and not hate there guts! And they beat my fighting Irish !
Brendan Ryan The team that perform better wins. Notrw Dame definitely changed and learned so much after getting destroyed by Bama. To me the Fighting Irish knew the Real Southern Football the hard way. On par with Georgia in my opinion. If the Irish can keep this up. The National Championship isn't very very far.
Dude the Bama program is just a fucking machine. I hate them but I do respet the program.
America better hope that Ric Flair doesn't run and has Saban as his running mate. That would br an easy win.
" We had some teams around here that were willing to do what they needed to do and we had some teams that weren't " that's the difference between Alabama and everyone else . Bottom line stuff .
Whose balls is Saban busting at the 02:00 min mark?

Fortunately, it was not his "first" rodeo. Coach Saban won his first national championship in the 2003 season. In fact, he went 4-0 in national championship games before anyone ever won a "playoff" game, or before losing his first playoff game... because the CFB playoffs didn't start until 2014.

Roll Tide. 👍
@@grahamfam03 LOL. I am building my case with a ton of reasonable doubt, a ton, as to why he has all those NCs.
Let's start with NCs since 78 or was it 79 that Bryant won his last outright?
~37 NCs (not including independents)
Only 6 of those came by either, the winning coach
1) Not being his conf winner, or
2) Playing a coach that didn't win his conf.
You know, all things being equal, an easier path to a NC.
The count: 6. Saban 4, Herbie 1, Coker 1.
It's not fair in the least. 2009 suppose Meyer looks into his crystal ball and says, "wait, Saban will play in 2 NC games in the future and will not have to even play in the SECC game. FL is #1. It does me absolutely no good to play in that game. I have everything to lose. And he would have been spot on.
Yes, all Saban could do was play in the system that existed. And Osborne has 2 NC championships bec he was playing in the Big Easy too. At the time, the conference's SOS was at the bottom of all conferences, except the MAC. True, honest football fans will not give Saban a pass. I sure as hell won't and I am a Bama grad.
I can go on and on with the reasonable doubt case against Saban.
@ROLL TIDE Graham We know Saban has never beaten an Auburn team that finishes with at least 9 wins. 0-8 and not one of his NCs have come through at good Auburn team.
What else do we know. He was 1-3 vs Spurrier. Spurrier finished with at least 9 wins the 3 years he won.
He was 0-2 against Osborne. Ok great team but still 0-2 against team that finished with at least 9 wins.
Joe Tiller: Saban played 2, 9 wins Purdue teams and lost.
Alverez: Saban only played 1 9 win WI team and lost.
One day, I will go down this path.
He's tied with Dabo when Dabo has 9 wins.
Tied with Meyer. Same
Keyword is tied. Great doesn't tie.
Nothing at all to this point indicates greatness.

Shula faced 7 of 8 ranked TN and Aub teams. 88%
Saban has faced 12/32 ranked TN and Aub teams. 38%
Shula faced 3 Aub teams that finished with 13, 9, 11 wins. 75%
We know Saban can't beat a 9 win Aub team. Let's do the math. 16 games * 75% and Saban wins 4.
If he plays the quality of TN and Aub team that Shula did, he may have 2 NCs at Bama. Losing late to both would absolutely knock him out of contention.
I have so much more reasonable doubt.

You played Nintendo 🤣🤣
He seems like a good college coach, don't know about the NFL. Of course, his school always gets the best high school players, so it's hard to put him on a pedestal. Of course, Clemson took em down. Schedule is very weak year in and year out, of course, many of the SEC teams are not very good. College needs a new system, where it takes the top 28 teams of the previous year's rankings and divides those teams into four divisions of seven. For example Division One would consist of ranked teams: 1, 8, 9, 16, 17, 24, and 25. And Division two would be teams: 2, 7, 10, 15, 18, 23, and 26. And so on. Now that would be AWESOME and do away with the SEC and all these stupid blowout games that no one wants to watch.
His "school" gets the best players? Who do you think does the recruiting? The Dean of Students? One of the reasons Saban is so successful is that he's one of (if not THE) best recruiters out there. His school doesn't get the best players, HE gets the school the best players.
You'll never see another system for dividing the teams, because you would lose all of the best rivalry games, and that helps keep college FB's popularity, no matter the team records.
Here's an idea: Let's keep everyone in the same conferences, have them play each other throughout the regular season, with some non-conference games peppered in. Then, we'll have the conferences play their own conference championships, to determine the best in each.
THEN, (and here's the real doozy), we'll have the top 4 teams in the country play each other, regardless of conference, in a small playoff to determine the National Champion.
What do you think?
Exactly. No matter if the game is a blowout fans live for things like Third Sat in Oct, The Egg Bowl, Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, Red River Shootout, etc. Some of these teams have played each other for over a century. College football is all about tradition and that is what makes it great.
Wow you are so intelligent, someone from the college system will find this and implement it and before you know it the whole system will be changed because of your insightful comment..
Striker 333 He gets the best players, weak schedule, SEC is no good.
Good God dude !!!
Are you willing to give the man ANY credit at all ?
Other teams get the best players too and still don't win.
Welp, that guy is fired lol. Can't do shit right!
