Nick Saban: The Greatest College Coach of All Time | A Football Life | NFL+ 

When the NFL makes videos about college coaches, you’re the goat.

For the longest time. I never understood why Coach Saban left the Dolphins. Years later, Saban revealed why he left Miami. It was because Miami was unwilling to sign Drew Brees. Brees would have been the final piece to Miami's championship run.

What I love about this cut up is that Ms. Terry is a main voice telling Nick's story. That's so true of them in reality. There is no Nick Saban without Ms. Terry.

This wasn’t a Nick Saban football documentary. This was a family and marriage success story that we were all lucky to be able and watch over the years.

Man, what a career, this hits differently after his retirement today.

You could tell he was emotional talking about what Jalen did as a true teammate. Goosebumps! I'll always support Jalen moving forward. He put his personal goals aside for his team and stayed at Bama!

As a lifelong Alabama fan, I’ll always remember the day my dad told me that nick saban was coming to Alabama. I was in Iraq on my 2nd deployment and I remember thinking I’ve gotta make it back home to see this!! My father passed away in 2012 and “roll tide” is literally etched into his tombstone. ROLL….DAMN……TIDE!! 😊

I'm so glad Saban is getting the recognition he deserves. Truly the GOAT.

As an Alabama fan Im so grateful for everything Nick has done for so many. We’re simply the luckiest fan base in College Football. 6 titles in T-Town, 7 overall. He’s the best to ever do it AND STILL GOING!!! RMFT!!👍🏻

Not an Alabama fan - but so much respect for this man. The last line of old school college football.

As a lifelong Alabamain I must say Nick Saban is greatest hero ever in the history of Alabama! We will always love the Saban family!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!

It’s amazing how different Saban is from other coaches. Belichick knew he was lucky to have him, this guy teaches much more than just football. These are life lessons. The 🏆’s are just a part of it.

Who’s here after Saban announced his retirement

Man this hits different now. Hell of a career. Enjoy retirement!

That was so good. Nick Saban is an extraordinary human being. God prepared a great path for him in this world and I think he has treaded it pretty well.

The Bear & Saban. Bama fans are blessed!

19:52 the greatness encapsulated in this frame

Thank you for your great legacy, coach Nick Saban.

There’s nothing better than being in Tuscaloosa for football season. I was a student ‘18-‘21. One of the coolest memories I have is when i sat in front of Coach at Church on Sunday after a game on Saturday. He’s on of the finest men we have and there’s an army of folks who’d do anything for him. Says a lot if you ask me.

Wish they could have gotten him 1 more as the great send off he deserved. They still played well this year tho. The impact made is unbelievable. Wish this man all the best to enjoy the rest of his life and now live for the moments he missed

Nick Saban the football Coach K, a leader of man. I guarantee he could get the best of every football player he’s ever crossed paths with.

This hits different now, thank you coach for everything you’ve done for this football program, you changed a lot of lives in a better way. Can’t wait to tell my kids and grandkids about what’s it like to watch him coached!

He is a mentor. A teacher of the highest goals that we all should obtain, no matter what we do. Other coaches try to fake it. But, he is the real deal. It is integrity and determination. Roll Tide. We got lucky.

Is it weird that I cried when he announced his retirement? I’m still a little emotionally unstable over it. He’s going to be so missed, but he deserves to enjoy the rest of his life doing whatever he wants! Love you coach Saban❤

I'm an Oregon ducks fan and you can't deny coach Saban is the best college football coach of all time. Legend! Nothing but respect for coach and Bama. Hell of a team

We will miss you and your process coach Saban. The GOAT of CFB coaches.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is a habit." -Nick Saban

wow this came out 2 weeks before he retired, good timing

Thanks for an amazing run, Coach! Absolute GOAT! Roll Tide

Will forever be remembered coach saban.

real ones here after hearing about his retirement

Miss Terry said winning championships is one thing but staying on top is much harder. That’s why he’s the GOAT!

As a Georgia fan, saban really is the GOAT, what an incredible impact he’s had on the SEC / game as a whole. Just listening to him talk it’s hard to hate the guy he’s so passionate about this game and his team

thats crazy he retired 2 weeks after this video

Who’s here to rewatch this after the goat retired. Hands down the greatest college football coach in history right beside Tom Osbourn in my opinion

born & raised here in Bama and i can say that Nick Saban is our Governor.

As A Michigan fan it was a Honor to play you in your last game. Truly amazing career and phenomenal coach.. He's in my Mt.Rushmore or coaches. Truly will be missed.

I'm so proud of what Saban was able to accomplish at Alabama and more than that, what he represents and the way in which he went about doing it. Legit. Where legends are made.

Saban is the man a true goat, and everything he has done in his career is amazing. My grandfather was die hard bama fan and I watched or listened to every game with him while fishing he always said bama will be back on top some day but loved bama football win or lose, he passed away in 2008 of cancer, then very next year saban had bama tuned and built starting the bama dominance, national championships Heisman trophies. He knew saban was the man for the job and was huge fan, Thank you nick saban for everything you've accomplished for bama rolltideroll

The player picked Nick up and was running with him, that's amazing!!!

This guy is unbelievable. He wouldn’t have been able to become the GOAT without Mrs. Terry and his family.

His time in Baton Rouge was excellent as he led LSU to a national championship in 2003 and he’s brought that same winning formula to Tuscaloosa. Just a definition of excellence all around in college football

Miss Terry will pull a tear out of your face when she talks.. glad they showed the side of Coach that most never get to see!!!

what a timely video.

This is honestly my favourite episode of this series even though i always root against Bama. One person I'd love to have an episode about as well would be Mike Leach, I couldn't think of a person that would create a more interesting episode as its subject

As an OU fan, it makes me sad to see him retire. He means that much to the sport.

They dont make them like mrs terry anymore. She truly is the very person responsible for everything and there should be monuments of her every step of the way. Thank you mrs terry.

Thank you Nick Saban for so many memories at the Crimson Tide!!! RTR #RollTide4Ever ❤❤❤

Yep! What else is there to do on Christmas Eve, but watch a film on the GOAT COACH of college football. Thanks for sharing!!!

It seems unreal that Alabama will be coached by someone else in September

This is awesome. Thanks for producing this. Thank you, Saban Family!

LSU guy here. And you can’t help but love Nick Saban. I use a lot of Sabans football camp speeches from you tube at my companies Sales Meetings. His process works anywhere.

Goat. Born and raised in Alabama and went to Alabama and will always see Nick Saban as a role model and inspiration.

It’s crazy to think how much he almost held himself back and almost never became a coach in the first place

Is it possible to put this man in Canton? I know his time coaching in the NFL wasn’t all that, but the hundreds on hundreds of pro level players that he’s produced have been a mainstay and backbone of the league for 20 years now, not even to mention how many coaches have come from his tree.

Thank you Ms Terry and all the family... We love y'all so much RTR

Saban has made my life as a Bama fan amazing I'm currently 29

The goat. My coach. Thank you for all the greatness coach. Roll Tide!! 🐘🐘

The Saban family grew up with expectations and a work ethic like no other. Each day you put your best foot forward and through the process of hard work, dedication, sacrifice and above all else respect you’ll become very successful. Ick and Ms. Terry have a wonderful life and marriage. They have along there path touched so many lives in positive ways that they have friendships that will last a lifetime. We as fans and coach’s have learned so much and it enriched our lives to do better and be better and above all else Love the Process.

Growing up in West Virginia, Coach Saban was one of the people I could look up to who had made it from my little home state. My Alma mater, Marshall University, has even gotten a coach from the Saban tree in Coach Huff. Love seeing successful West Virginians!

Nick Saban is the GOAT!!! Coach Saban truly loves football and cares deeply for his players. As a Bama fan, we are grateful to have him as our coach!!! RTR!!!

I got the chance to get the autograph from nick my favorite coach in my whole life I hope he enjoys retirement and we’ll miss that fire rolltide

I love Saban to death and I'm so thankful to grow up watching the Saban era.. I was born an Alabama fan into a family of Alabama fans and I started watching a few years before he got there and barely remember the bad times.. that's thanks to Saban and he truly is the greatest and best coach of all time.. & we are lucky that he coaches our team and extremely lucky to grow up in the presence of greatness.. Saban, Bear Bryant & Bobby Bowden are the 3 greatest coaches of all time in that order.. and most of my childhood and adult years has been his era.. I was like 11 or 12 when he got there and they won there 13th national championship on my 13th birthday in 2009

Miss Terry is the heart and soul of the Alabama Football program

To hear Saban choke back tears When Jalen had is moment. That aint fake.

they knew

Saban has definitely raised the bar at Bama and that's saying something, Roll Tide!

Nick saban and paul Bryant the greatest coaches of college football. ❤

Nothing can beat a couple where both are on the same page consistently. That’s a power team like no other force.

Hey, this title is accurate. Nick Saban truly is now the Greatest Coach in College Football ever. Knute and Bear would agree.

The greatest of all time. Not juat because of wins and losses, but because of the message he leaves to his players and the passion he has for the game and his family. A man of method with the right priorities. Roll Tide everyone.

Wow, great video. One of the best of this series.

As a lifelong Alabama fan who was 9 years old when they won the first national championship in ‘09…..this is all we have. This is it. Watching coach Saban and the teams through the years have been the most incredible experience I may ever know.

My Brother graduated from Alabama undergrad! He loved Bama Football! He passed in 2021! He was able to see Saban 7th and last championship game and Heisman trophy winner Devonte Smith! He plays for Eagles I lived in Philadelphia

Thankful that Coach is at Alabama. And just as thankful for Ms. Terry. Without her & Mal Moore it never would have happened.

Here’s the thing what people don’t is that this year will be Nick Saban’s best coaching job mark my words.

Amazing how Ms Terry always had Saban’s back and fully supported him. Not an Alabama fan, but you’ve got to give it up to the goat.

College Football won't be the same Nick Saban I'm going miss u coach thanks the coaching at yr best for the memories on u being on the sidelines the Goat 🐐

Will always be the GOAT Congratulations coach on your retirement You did it your way We all salute you Even if we were on opposite sides during a game We always respected you and how you ran your program Happpy Retirement 👍👍👍👍

LSU fan here. Saban was awesome

I’m so happy that 1. LSU doesn’t have to see this man every year and 2. I can actually celebrate his legacy because at any other school he would’ve been my favorite coach outside of Orgeron, Kelly, and Leach(rip the real goat)

From an Iowa Hawkeye Football fan for over 35 years I can say it comes as a huge relief to see Nick Saban retire. That being said. He is undoubtedly the greatest College Football coach of all time and I'm sad to see the end of an Era. Congratulations on a truly amazing career Coach.

After tonight, it looks like the postgame car ride is going to be very quiet

Damn got to love him. Some of the best quotes I have ever heard.

Alabama fan here since 2015 Thank you Coach Saban on and off the field great story.

That's interesting what he said about leaving Miami because they didn't have a QB and thus he didn't feel he could "control [his] own destiny."

The greatest college coach in any sport ever

That's one man that really knew what he was doing and it was always a pleasure, though difficult most of the time lol, to see my Tennessee Volunteers play his Alabama Crimson Tide. Thanks for the tough times, coach Saban. I wish you luck.

We need a Football Life : Patrick Willis

As an Auburn man, you hate Bama, but everyone should respect the hell out of Nick.

"we could have stayed and done exactly what we did here" miss terry is a goat😂😂

Nick Saban is without a doubt, the greatest head coach in college football history. But more importantly, he's helped so many other coaches achieve greatness by helpoing tehm be ready for their first ,second, or sometimes ev en third chance as a head coach after failing in other places. Coaches like Kirby, Sark, and many others wouldn't be where they are without his influence.

24:27 goosebumps. Thank you Saban.

Nick Saban is the Goat of College football!.

We LOVE Saban and Mrs Terri Always!!!! I wish ur family the BEST!!! They are great role models! Roll Tide Roll !

Came back to this after Saban's retirement finally sank in. Such a beautiful documentary. Fantastic work.

Roll Tide, Coach! You are the best because of your love of the game. We will miss you. 💔

I'm a Georgia fan. But coach saban is without a doubt the greatest coach to ever grace this planet. We've been on the bad side more than the good. But if my team is gonna get beat losing to the GOAT isn't too bad

One emoji to describe ole Saint Nick 🐐 RTR!!!

Enjoyed this very much. A legend
