saban

Saban is a surname of Greek origin, but it has become synonymous with two renowned figures in the world of sports. The most famous Saban is Nick Saban, an American football coach who has been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Born on October 31, 1951, in Fairmont, West Virginia, Saban played football as a quarterback in college and later became a coach.

Saban's coaching career spans over four decades, with notable stints as an assistant coach under legendary coaches Bill Parcells and Bobby Bowden. He became head coach at Michigan State University in 1995 and later moved to LSU, where he led the team to a national championship in 2003. In 2007, Saban left LSU to become the head coach at the University of Alabama, a position he still holds today.

Under Saban's leadership, the Alabama Crimson Tide has secured six national championships, with five of those titles coming under his tenure. Saban is known for his meticulous attention to detail, his emphasis on defense, and his relentless pursuit of excellence. While opinions about his coaching style vary, there is no denying his impressive achievements and his lasting impact on college football.

It's worth noting that Saban has also written a book, "ThePROCESS: Combining Ordinary and Macht" but most information available comes from his work as a football coach.
