ESPN and Words + Pictures are releasing a six-part docuseries on the iconic coach. Per Variety's Jack Dunn, "the series will tell the story of Nick Saban's extraordinary career, highlighted by his 17 seasons at Alabama, where he led the team to six national titles and reestablished the Crimson Tide as the preeminent program in college football."

While Saban had his best years at Alabama, he explained that he wanted to tell the story of what led him to Tuscaloosa as well.

"With my coaching days behind me, Ms. Terry and I have been doing a lot of reflection and realized we were ready to tell our story," Saban said, per Dunn. "The team at Words + Pictures has encouraged me to really look back not just at my time at Alabama, but every stop along the way – and not just reflect on what happened but consider the process which made it happen. I interacted with a lot of players and coaches along the way and I'm happy to see that so many of them have contributed to this docuseries. There's a lot to tell, and I'm excited to share it all."

Saban coached the Crimson Tide from 2007 to 2023, winning six championships during that time, but plenty of fans aren't aware of his pre-Alabama days. After playing college football at Kent State, he cut his teeth as a position coach for a handful of schools before landing his first head coaching job at Toledo.

He then had a brief stint in the NFL as a defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns before taking over as Michigan State's head coach. Saban coached LSU from 2000 to 2004, winning a national championship in 2003.

He was the Miami Dolphins coach from 2005 to 2006 before taking over at Alabama.

Saban retired as one of the best college football coaches of all time, so it will be interesting to hear his re-telling of his storied career.
