Nick Saban has pretty much cemented himself as the greatest college football coach of all time.
In January, Saban tied legendary Alabama coach Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant with his sixth national championship in Tuscaloosa. Saban also won a championship back in 2003 at LSU bringing his career total to seven, which is the most by a coach in college football history.
Despite all that he has accomplished, doubts surrounded Saban the 2021 version of the Crimson Tide. After all, the team lost six first-round picks from the 2020 team. Offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian accepted the head coaching job at Texas and took several assistants from Tuscaloosa to Austin with him.
With all of the new faces within both the team and the coaching staff, many thought this would be a down season for the Tide.
All Nick Saban and the Tide did was lock up yet another top-seed in the College Football Playoffs.
The question now has to be asked. Is this Nick Saban’s best coaching job in his Alabama career?
Here’s five reasons I think it may just be.
