Alabama Crimson Tide head football coach Nick Saban once drove a Coca-Cola truck to help make ends meet as a graduate assistant early in his coaching career. To congratulate Saban and the University of Alabama for winning their third national championship in four years, Coca-Cola made this commercial to salute "what's possible", featuring the voice of Saban's wife Terry.

There is something emotional wrong with Alabama head coach Nick Saban. It seems painful for him to experience joy or happiness. The montage above consist, what humans would consider, happy moments from Alabama’s BCS National Championship victory over Notre Dame. If there is one thing that Nick Saban hates more than losing, its winning. Can I please take a moment to point out...

SEC fans are a passionate bunch, but Alabama fans take the cake. Can you fault them? Their football team wins a ton.
A die-hard Alabama fan, who is days from giving birth, wrote on her baby bump, “If Bama wins tonight, I’m naming this baby Saban.” The Crimson Tide romped to a 42-14 blowout in the BCS National Championship over Notre Dame, so local Alabama hospitals can be...

You'd just like for someone to throw it back in his face once. Just one time so he can get his, to show that he can't just do anything he wants. He is one of those guys who seems to be laughing at you and at everyone else.
The problem with that is that Nick Saban actually can, in fact, do anything he wants. No one can touch him.
Saban is now dominating college football...

AJ McCarron, like Johnny Football Manziel, is dating a model. McCarron’s girlfriend Katherine Webb is an Auburn graduate and the 2012 Miss Alabama. Webb’s twitter follower count went from around 550 to over 105k followers after being shown during the BCS title game last night. She surpassed McCarron’s 87k followers even though he threw for 264 yards and 4 TDs. Unknowingly...

Alabama football is good. There’s no way around it. No other way of saying it. Alabama is a good football team. Say what you want about Nick Saban and his demeanor as a head coach, but the guy has simply put together one of the best programs in college football history.
The teams that Alabama has had the past couple seasons could, in my opinion, compete with and beat any team you...

Dear Coach Nicholas Lou Saban, Greetings from the warm, sunny beaches of California (I’m actually in a coffee shop, but it’s close enough to the water). By the time you’re reading this, hopefully you’re kicking back, enjoying a sandy beach of your own, and reflecting on your recent achievement of winning back to back championships (three out of four). Hopefully, you’re...

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama has hired Colorado defensive coordinator Greg Brown as secondary coach.
Coach Nick Saban said Wednesday that Brown's college and NFL experience "made him the perfect fit for the position." The two-time defending national champions had to replace Jeremy Pruitt, who left to become Florida State's defensive coordinator.
Brown spent the...

With the NFL Draft just a few months away, there still looms much uncertainty as to whom will be drafted number one overall in 2013. The upper echelon of this year's NFL prospects is full of offensive and defensive linemen, but this class lacks in premiere skill players. 13 total linemen are in the top 20 rated NFL prospects below on the big board, six on offense and seven on...

Seven straight.
A run unlike any college football has ever seen continued as Alabamas Nick Saban held aloft the crystal football, giving the SEC another championship and the Crimson Tides second in a row and third in four years.
Second-ranked 'Bama dominated No. 1 Notre Dame from the get-go, rumbling 82 yards, capped by Offensive MVP Eddie Lacys 20-yard touchdown run en route...

It was at this time last year, on the morning following Alabama’s 21-0 beat down of LSU in the 2012 BCS National Championship when I wrote a column proclaiming the win “Nick Saban’s Masterpiece.” That morning I explained how the victory was a beautiful convergence of a brilliant coach and talented team, executing a flawless game-plan that was as close to college football...
For the seventh consecutive year, the Southeastern Conference has delivered the BCS National Championship. And three of those seven have come via performances of Coach Nick Saban’s Alabama Crimson Tide. Here are notes on the game in Miami Gardens, Fla., where the Crimson Tide defeated Notre Dame, 42-14, Monday night.
Cooper Bateman is one of the more highly-touted quarterbacks to be brought in during the Nick Saban era, and he begins his Alabama career this month. The No. 5 QB in the class of 2103 chimed in on the latest.

Mariano Rivera may pick up a save tonight without even jogging out from the bullpen if Alabama captures the BCS National Championship with a victory over Notre Dame.
It wouldn't go down in the record books as career save No. 609, but could play a small part in the history of Alabama football, nonetheless.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban said he had his players watch a video of...

Well...that's what a dynasty looks like.
Alabama rode into Miami as the biggest favorite in BCS title game history, and rode out with their third title in four years (though they'll probably claim six of them) and a vice grip on the sport like we haven't seen in decades. The Tide extended the SEC's title run to seven years, became the first champion to repeat in...
