Nick Saban is widely regarded as the greatest college football coach of all time.

The former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach won seven national titles in his coaching career, having spent time with several high-level programs in the college football landscape.

Saban retired from coaching two years and has since become a media personality on ESPN's "College GameDay." He currently works alongside Kirk Herbstreit, Rece Davis, Pat McAfee and Desmond Howard.

While he's been focusing on his craft in the media, Saban has been making some splash moves as a businessman.

In the Week 7 episode of "College GameDay," McAfee announced that Saban recently opened a brand new Toyota dealership.

McAfee explained to the field-goal kicking fan that he would award him a Toyota Camry from Saban's dealership and $250,000 if he were to make the field goal.

"Ok, $250,000 and I'll buy you a Toyota from his brand new Toyota dealership," McAfee said. "You get to sell a Camry, you get $250,000 and a Toyota," McAfee explained to Saban and the fan.

Nick Saban has been in the dealership business for quite some time. His minority stake in the Toyota dealership adds to his portfolio, which already has nine locations.

Saban is a minority partner in Dream Motor Group. They have locations in Florida, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana and Tennessee.

The former Alabama head coach is part-owner of two luxury dealerships, a Ferrari location in Nashville and a Mercedes-Benz location in Florida.
