Nick Saban Named 2018 Walter Camp Coach of the Year

Alabama head coach Nick Saban continues to reap the rewards from another undefeated regular season in 2018. 

Per Brett McMurphy of Stadium, Saban has been named the 2018 Walter Camp Coach of the Year after leading the Crimson Tide to a 13-0 record and an SEC championship.  

Likely because of Alabama's sustained success throughout Saban's 12-year tenure, this is the first Coach of the Year honor for him since winning the George Munger Award in 2016. 

Saban previously won the Walter Camp award in his second year at Alabama in 2008. That team went 12-2 and lost to Utah in the Sugar Bowl. 

The Crimson Tide have been the most dominant team in college football throughout the 2018 season. They started the season ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25 and 12 of their 13 wins have come by at least 22 points. 

Because the standard of performance at Alabama under Saban is so high, it can be easy to overlook how consistent he has been over the past 12 years. However, the FBS head coaches and sports information directors who vote on the Walter Camp award were paying close attention to his work in 2018.
