Video: Nick Saban Unveils 'Saban Field' Sign at Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium

Jack MurraySep 7, 2024

Nick Saban's name has been immortalized at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

The former Crimson Tide coach unveiled a sign that reads "Saban Field" in front of the stadium, which comes after the University decided to dedicate the playing field at the stadium to the 17-year head coach.

"This is a great honor to have the field named after the legacy that we've been able to create here," Saban told fans, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN).

"But I want this legacy to represent every player who played, who worked hard, every coach who helped those players develop, our administration who set a foundation where we had a chance to be successful."

Saban won six National Championships with Alabama and made the program the gold standard in college football. He retired following the 2023 season after leading the Crimson Tide to the College Football Playoff for the seventh time.

Saban will also receive an on-field recognition during halftime of the Crimson Tide's game against South Florida.

He coached 235 games for the program, leading Alabama to a 206-29 overall record. He is the second-winningest head coach in Crimson Tide history, with Paul "Bear" Bryant being the only coach with more wins.

Saban finished his overall collegiate coaching career with a 297-71-7 record, which puts him sixth all-time. He won seven total national championships and his Alabama teams were the dominant force of the four-team playoff era.

As the sport continues to evolve, Saban's presence will always remain with the Alabama program when they descend on "Saban Field."
