Just because Nick Saban is no longer the head coach of Alabama football, it doesn’t mean he can’t impact the program anymore. His presence in Tuscaloosa will still be felt, as it’s been revealed that he will have an advisory role for the Crimson Tide. The multi-titled head coach gave a little bit more insight about how he plans to fulfill the job.
“Well, that’s our home, that’s our family, it’s our community. We’re going to continue to do things to help the community every way that we can,” the Alabama football great said during Monday’s Nick Saban Legacy Awards (h/t The Spun).
Kalen DeBoer, who has a lot of work ahead of him, will succeed Nick Saban as head coach of the Alabama football team. Six national championships were won by the Crimson Tide under Saban, two of which came during the BCS era. After the 2023 season, in which the Crimson Tide lost to the Michigan Wolverines in the College Football Playoff semifinals at the Rose Bowl, Saban announced his retirement from coaching college football.
