Saben.Yup, Saben.

Nick Saban - Wikipedia
 

 Posts about sports on this about-to-be 15 year long website are few and far between. Blame the editor. 😏

But even here, Alabama Football has a place. For example: this paragraph from a New York Times article this week about Nick Saban's retirement:

"In the years that Saban was in Tuscaloosa, the state embarked on a long run of national embarrassments: sprawling corruption scandals, the resignation of a governor brought about by leaked recordings of his mortifying dirty talk and the whole circus surrounding Roy Moore’s 2017 run for U.S. Senate. (Saban received 426 write-in votes in that election.)

Seeing Alabama in a national headline often brought a shudder of dread, like watching a drunk relative stand up for a wedding toast."

Alabama wasted no time in naming a successor---Washington coach Kalen DeBoer.

Now the question is: will he dominate sports in Alabama the way Saban did?
