When the NFL makes videos about college coaches, you’re the goat.
For the longest time. I never understood why Coach Saban left the Dolphins. Years later, Saban revealed why he left Miami. It was because Miami was unwilling to sign Drew Brees. Brees would have been the final piece to Miami's championship run.
the doctor who was looking at drew’s shoulder said there was like 25% chance that he would actually be able to play so the org passed on him and the rest is history
Still couldn't make it in the big league. So who cares. Plus, Ala is overrated. Screw Them.
@@mattmatt7998Hot take lol are you an Auburn fan by any chance? Lol
There's never one reason, there's a lotta reasons that go into this decision. Stay in the NFL, you're at the mercy of ownership, draft position, free agency and the cap. In college, you are coach, GM and team president. And if you're really good at recruiting, you get 20 first round picks out of high school every year.
@mikeyRoxx981 I stopped watching college football in 2014. Alabama always wins. Sick and tired of them. I'm not an SEC fan boy either. I'm Just a football fan. I love the sport, but no preference on college. Although the UCLA BRUINS uniforms are the BEST, GO LV RAIDERS 👏 🙌 As a Pro Team.
This wasn’t a Nick Saban football documentary. This was a family and marriage success story that we were all lucky to be able and watch over the years.
Exactly
Build a Miss Terry statue! RTR!
I hope to have a wife like Terry one day. Nick Saban is blessed.
Speaking truth 👏
What I love about this cut up is that Ms. Terry is a main voice telling Nick's story. That's so true of them in reality. There is no Nick Saban without Ms. Terry.
That's why I chuckle when people are so willing to give up on marriages and relationships these days, look at all that woman had to go through! Still stayed loyal!
😅
😅
@😅USMCTexan
@USMCTexan after losing my soulmate a month ago. I find it repulsive. I'd do anything to have her back. Yet people treat marriages as another throw away object.
Man, what a career, this hits differently after his retirement today.
You could tell he was emotional talking about what Jalen did as a true teammate. Goosebumps! I'll always support Jalen moving forward. He put his personal goals aside for his team and stayed at Bama!
Jalen is and will always be the most legendary athlete and teammate to every put on the Crimson.
Jalen is one hell of a player love his mindset and game style one of the best for the tide
I love the story of Jalen coming to Saban for guidance on where to transfer to. Jalen was going to Miami and following Dan Enos (QB Coach), or Maryland (Mike Locksley), and Saban asked him where the best players were, and kinda guided him to Oklahoma. They had just lost Kyler Murray to the draft as well.
Until he didn’t 😂😂
Jalen was always a flop in the biggest games he started. Still is. Stop enabling just bec he is black. It's called integrity.
As a lifelong Alabama fan, I’ll always remember the day my dad told me that nick saban was coming to Alabama. I was in Iraq on my 2nd deployment and I remember thinking I’ve gotta make it back home to see this!! My father passed away in 2012 and “roll tide” is literally etched into his tombstone. ROLL….DAMN……TIDE!! 😊
I was in Kandahar for alabamas 1rst national championship under Nick. It was a special night that night. I was back in Kandahar for their 2012 season and I remember watching them beat LSU and Georgia vividly.
@@stevenkerby9381 it’s a lot different when your thousands of miles away!
@@stevenkerby9381 thank you for your service and sacrifices. 🫡🫡
Roll tide brother
Roll tide
I'm so glad Saban is getting the recognition he deserves. Truly the GOAT.
Because he never got recognition for ten plus years of winning nationals
What recognition was this guy not getting before this video?
@@extremeuzer3 I haven't really seen that many people recognizing Saban as the greatest college coach of all time other than Bama fans. So it's nice seeing this.
@@goneroguez5034you must live under a rock.
@@jimmyward7038 Ok my bad lmao.
Who’s here after Saban announced his retirement
As an Alabama fan Im so grateful for everything Nick has done for so many. We’re simply the luckiest fan base in College Football. 6 titles in T-Town, 7 overall. He’s the best to ever do it AND STILL GOING!!! RMFT!!👍🏻
🇨🇦RTR Since 2015
I was a child of 11 when we won the 1992 Championship with Stallings and I legitimately thought that was a once in a lifetime experience. I was 26 in 2007, almost 43 now and all these championships are so….there aren’t words. They’re just great.
Y’all could definitely get another one this year
@@jiveassturkey8849 me as well. I watched Bama win it my second year watching football in 92’. I was 9 years old. I remember in the early 2000’s thinking “if we could just win 1 more title in my lifetime I’d be happy😂😂… and here we are going for number 8
@christopherrojas2856 I hope we beat Michigan
It’s amazing how different Saban is from other coaches. Belichick knew he was lucky to have him, this guy teaches much more than just football. These are life lessons. The 🏆’s are just a part of it.
As a lifelong Alabamain I must say Nick Saban is greatest hero ever in the history of Alabama! We will always love the Saban family!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
How blessed we are to have had Bear Bryant AND Nick Saban!
The tide got rolled by Michigan though....
@@JAWGA912 oh you have a TV and saw that too? Congrats.
Man this hits different now. Hell of a career. Enjoy retirement!
Right! As soon as it started and “Wagon Wheel” was playing, it got to me. It’s the end of an era and I’ll always be grateful.
Is it weird that I cried when he announced his retirement? I’m still a little emotionally unstable over it. He’s going to be so missed, but he deserves to enjoy the rest of his life doing whatever he wants! Love you coach Saban❤
Not an Alabama fan - but so much respect for this man. The last line of old school college football.
Didn’t age too well
@haydentomlinson4613 how?
@@chanceeaton6669 he retired so “the last line” is no more
@haydentomlinson4613 its gonna age like fine wine honestly. People will look back on his comment and say he was right.
real ones here after hearing about his retirement
Thank you for your great legacy, coach Nick Saban.
The Bear & Saban. Bama fans are blessed!
There’s nothing better than being in Tuscaloosa for football season. I was a student ‘18-‘21. One of the coolest memories I have is when i sat in front of Coach at Church on Sunday after a game on Saturday. He’s on of the finest men we have and there’s an army of folks who’d do anything for him. Says a lot if you ask me.
That was so good. Nick Saban is an extraordinary human being. God prepared a great path for him in this world and I think he has treaded it pretty well.
He created the path for himself, no one else did that.
@@Erkkae no man, I don’t think that how life works/. You even heard Nick himself say if it wasn’t for his father he’d never have gotten into football. Who you’re born to and where and in what circumstances creates your path. That just life.
@@Erkkae but you know, different strokes for different folks. That’s just my take on it.
Yeah, just like my answer was 'my take' on the subject. @@jiveassturkey8849
Wish they could have gotten him 1 more as the great send off he deserved. They still played well this year tho. The impact made is unbelievable. Wish this man all the best to enjoy the rest of his life and now live for the moments he missed
He’s done enough bro. I’m a Georgia fan. I can tell you Nick Saban is the best coach of all time. It’s not a debate.
@@mikehancho2082 I know would have just been nice to send him off champ one more time.
Nick Saban the football Coach K, a leader of man. I guarantee he could get the best of every football player he’s ever crossed paths with.
it helps a lot when he gets top high school kids. do you think he would be winning championships if he was duke head coach. it helps a lot when he was head coach for LSU and Alabama
@@funtyes1970you’re nothing more than a belligerent hater and your words are meaningless
@@funtyes1970lolol WHOS BETTER?
@@funtyes1970Part of being a good coach is being a good recruiter. Besides, look what he did at Toledo and Michigan State. He's always been a good coach with or without the top players
He is a mentor. A teacher of the highest goals that we all should obtain, no matter what we do. Other coaches try to fake it. But, he is the real deal. It is integrity and determination. Roll Tide. We got lucky.
wow this came out 2 weeks before he retired, good timing
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is a habit." -Nick Saban
As A Michigan fan it was a Honor to play you in your last game. Truly amazing career and phenomenal coach.. He's in my Mt.Rushmore or coaches. Truly will be missed.
This hits different now, thank you coach for everything you’ve done for this football program, you changed a lot of lives in a better way. Can’t wait to tell my kids and grandkids about what’s it like to watch him coached!
thats crazy he retired 2 weeks after this video
We will miss you and your process coach Saban. The GOAT of CFB coaches.
Miss Terry said winning championships is one thing but staying on top is much harder. That’s why he’s the GOAT!
AB-SO-LUTE-LY !
Thanks for an amazing run, Coach! Absolute GOAT! Roll Tide
19:52 the greatness encapsulated in this frame
As a Georgia fan, saban really is the GOAT, what an incredible impact he’s had on the SEC / game as a whole. Just listening to him talk it’s hard to hate the guy he’s so passionate about this game and his team
Bobby Bowden didn’t have a playoff
@@Rockymarciono731nice
@@Rockymarciono731 Wide right😂
LSU guy here. And you can’t help but love Nick Saban. I use a lot of Sabans football camp speeches from you tube at my companies Sales Meetings. His process works anywhere.
His time in Baton Rouge was excellent as he led LSU to a national championship in 2003 and he’s brought that same winning formula to Tuscaloosa. Just a definition of excellence all around in college football
Will forever be remembered coach saban.
what a timely video.
Saban is the man a true goat, and everything he has done in his career is amazing. My grandfather was die hard bama fan and I watched or listened to every game with him while fishing he always said bama will be back on top some day but loved bama football win or lose, he passed away in 2008 of cancer, then very next year saban had bama tuned and built starting the bama dominance, national championships Heisman trophies. He knew saban was the man for the job and was huge fan, Thank you nick saban for everything you've accomplished for bama rolltideroll
As an OU fan, it makes me sad to see him retire. He means that much to the sport.
This is honestly my favourite episode of this series even though i always root against Bama. One person I'd love to have an episode about as well would be Mike Leach, I couldn't think of a person that would create a more interesting episode as its subject
Is it possible to put this man in Canton? I know his time coaching in the NFL wasn’t all that, but the hundreds on hundreds of pro level players that he’s produced have been a mainstay and backbone of the league for 20 years now, not even to mention how many coaches have come from his tree.
He hasn't put hundreds of players in the league.. do your research
Um. No. It's called the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Saban's record as an NFL head coach is 15-17.
@@justincase3772yes he has lol. 116 total Alabama players
@@justincase3772he literally has you fraud💀💀
@@justincase3772how do you say “do your research” and just be wrong Google cannot be this hard
I'm an Oregon ducks fan and you can't deny coach Saban is the best college football coach of all time. Legend! Nothing but respect for coach and Bama. Hell of a team
Who’s here to rewatch this after the goat retired. Hands down the greatest college football coach in history right beside Tom Osbourn in my opinion
This guy is unbelievable. He wouldn’t have been able to become the GOAT without Mrs. Terry and his family.
I'm so proud of what Saban was able to accomplish at Alabama and more than that, what he represents and the way in which he went about doing it. Legit. Where legends are made.
born & raised here in Bama and i can say that Nick Saban is our Governor.
It seems unreal that Alabama will be coached by someone else in September
They dont make them like mrs terry anymore. She truly is the very person responsible for everything and there should be monuments of her every step of the way. Thank you mrs terry.
Miss Terry will pull a tear out of your face when she talks.. glad they showed the side of Coach that most never get to see!!!
It’s crazy to think how much he almost held himself back and almost never became a coach in the first place
The player picked Nick up and was running with him, that's amazing!!!
Thank you Ms Terry and all the family... We love y'all so much RTR
This is awesome. Thanks for producing this. Thank you, Saban Family!
Yep! What else is there to do on Christmas Eve, but watch a film on the GOAT COACH of college football. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you Nick Saban for so many memories at the Crimson Tide!!! RTR #RollTide4Ever ❤❤❤
Hey, this title is accurate. Nick Saban truly is now the Greatest Coach in College Football ever. Knute and Bear would agree.
Goat. Born and raised in Alabama and went to Alabama and will always see Nick Saban as a role model and inspiration.
Wow, great video. One of the best of this series.
The greatest of all time. Not juat because of wins and losses, but because of the message he leaves to his players and the passion he has for the game and his family. A man of method with the right priorities. Roll Tide everyone.
The Saban family grew up with expectations and a work ethic like no other. Each day you put your best foot forward and through the process of hard work, dedication, sacrifice and above all else respect you’ll become very successful. Ick and Ms. Terry have a wonderful life and marriage. They have along there path touched so many lives in positive ways that they have friendships that will last a lifetime. We as fans and coach’s have learned so much and it enriched our lives to do better and be better and above all else Love the Process.
Growing up in West Virginia, Coach Saban was one of the people I could look up to who had made it from my little home state. My Alma mater, Marshall University, has even gotten a coach from the Saban tree in Coach Huff. Love seeing successful West Virginians!
The goat. My coach. Thank you for all the greatness coach. Roll Tide!! 🐘🐘
Saban has made my life as a Bama fan amazing I'm currently 29
I got the chance to get the autograph from nick my favorite coach in my whole life I hope he enjoys retirement and we’ll miss that fire rolltide
I love Saban to death and I'm so thankful to grow up watching the Saban era.. I was born an Alabama fan into a family of Alabama fans and I started watching a few years before he got there and barely remember the bad times.. that's thanks to Saban and he truly is the greatest and best coach of all time.. & we are lucky that he coaches our team and extremely lucky to grow up in the presence of greatness.. Saban, Bear Bryant & Bobby Bowden are the 3 greatest coaches of all time in that order.. and most of my childhood and adult years has been his era.. I was like 11 or 12 when he got there and they won there 13th national championship on my 13th birthday in 2009
I didn't start paying attention to the games until I was like 7 or 8 but remember my parents watching them before that.. we went to a Tennessee fans house when I was a kid a year that they beat us and it was terrible.. those were the bad times and I was a little kid.. now I'm almost 27 and barely remember that and Saban has been dominating for nearing 2 decades and he's still in the run for championships.. one word.. GOAT
Nick Saban is the GOAT!!! Coach Saban truly loves football and cares deeply for his players. As a Bama fan, we are grateful to have him as our coach!!! RTR!!!
Came back to this after Saban's retirement finally sank in. Such a beautiful documentary. Fantastic work.
We LOVE Saban and Mrs Terri Always!!!! I wish ur family the BEST!!! They are great role models! Roll Tide Roll !
College Football won't be the same Nick Saban I'm going miss u coach thanks the coaching at yr best for the memories on u being on the sidelines the Goat 🐐
My Brother graduated from Alabama undergrad! He loved Bama Football! He passed in 2021! He was able to see Saban 7th and last championship game and Heisman trophy winner Devonte Smith! He plays for Eagles I lived in Philadelphia
That's one man that really knew what he was doing and it was always a pleasure, though difficult most of the time lol, to see my Tennessee Volunteers play his Alabama Crimson Tide. Thanks for the tough times, coach Saban. I wish you luck.
Will always be the GOAT Congratulations coach on your retirement You did it your way We all salute you Even if we were on opposite sides during a game We always respected you and how you ran your program Happpy Retirement 👍👍👍👍
Thankful that Coach is at Alabama. And just as thankful for Ms. Terry. Without her & Mal Moore it never would have happened.
As a lifelong Alabama fan who was 9 years old when they won the first national championship in ‘09…..this is all we have. This is it. Watching coach Saban and the teams through the years have been the most incredible experience I may ever know.
Hon, there are 17 Natties. But I get you. I've seen them all❤
@@howlingwaters2741 first national championship in this run with Saban to clarify.
I’m aware of our earlier national titles but I can see where my statement isn’t clear about what I meant.
@@DF-kw6izI knew what you meant
@@vince7906 thank you
Nothing can beat a couple where both are on the same page consistently. That’s a power team like no other force.
Amazing how Ms Terry always had Saban’s back and fully supported him. Not an Alabama fan, but you’ve got to give it up to the goat.
Who else is here after he retired 😂
Miss Terry is the heart and soul of the Alabama Football program
they knew
Nick saban and paul Bryant the greatest coaches of college football. ❤
Saban has definitely raised the bar at Bama and that's saying something, Roll Tide!
Here’s the thing what people don’t is that this year will be Nick Saban’s best coaching job mark my words.
OH ! IT ABSOLUTELY IS ! Think about it. We were ABSOLUTE CRAP in the beginning ! NICK got those players to buckle down, in the mist of adversity. No matter what other people said. Other coaches. The media. WHOMEVER ! Turned them around in the same season. . And now look... MOMENTS AWAY FROM # 8 ! NICK IS SIMPLY THE BEST ! BETTER THAN ALL THE REST ! BETTER THAN ANYONE !
I’m so happy that 1. LSU doesn’t have to see this man every year and 2. I can actually celebrate his legacy because at any other school he would’ve been my favorite coach outside of Orgeron, Kelly, and Leach(rip the real goat)
Enjoyed this very much. A legend
From an Iowa Hawkeye Football fan for over 35 years I can say it comes as a huge relief to see Nick Saban retire. That being said. He is undoubtedly the greatest College Football coach of all time and I'm sad to see the end of an Era. Congratulations on a truly amazing career Coach.
Good timing! Love you coach Saban
That's interesting what he said about leaving Miami because they didn't have a QB and thus he didn't feel he could "control [his] own destiny."
It was rumored, Miami had Drew "locked-up; however the Miami front office didn't want Drew due to a previous injury that arose during his pre-physical...............
I mean, would anybody really want to coach in the NFL and not have any kind of control? The players look at you as a supervisor so you don’t hear from them outside of practice and games. They show up whenever they feel like it. The corporation of the franchise you work for and coach at makes all the decisions for you and doesn’t really take your thoughts into consideration. Then the team loses and it’s your fault. Not the players, not the corporation, but yours and yours alone? Then you get fired for things out of your control because corporate thought it was a good idea at the time and proved not to be? Nah I’m good on that I’d stay at the college level
@@paulshears5202 The reason I thought it was interesting was because it seemed he was saying you simply can't compete for a championship in the NFL unless you have a great QB.
@@PatriotsVideos I see what your saying now. Really you don’t have to have a great QB your right. But if you have a terrible QB that on average throws an interception every game your less likely to win. Defenses are so fast and good in the NFL if your QB like what he had to deal with isn’t that good and turns the ball over you’ll get beat whereas a lot of that can be overcome in college. It can’t in the NFL if corporate is unwilling to sign a decent player. A lot of coaches that have done well in college can’t in the NFL because of that very reason. Matt Rhule and Urban Meyer just to name a couple
@@paulshears5202 I didn't say he was wrong. I said what he said was interesting. Unlike you.
The best to ever do it hope he doesn’t retire soon
Will always miss the GOAT...BUT SO SOO SOOOOOOO MANY GREAT MEMORIES. Few program fans will ever get.
To hear Saban choke back tears When Jalen had is moment. That aint fake.
i'm never going to get NFL+ unless you can guarantee that i can watch every game of my Packers down in Alabama but this is a great documentary. I very much respect Coach Saban even though i'm a GA fan lol
He still ended up in the car business. Goat coach and has car dealerships. Plus a new island he bought. Congratulations 👏 coach saban. Roll tide 🌊.

Who was your team before?

Damn got to love him. Some of the best quotes I have ever heard.
After tonight, it looks like the postgame car ride is going to be very quiet

Yo that Miami owner was so nice and chill ts hurt the way he said it over the press
