) - Nick Saban ’s legacy at the University of Alabama has long been secured, but this fall he takes yet another step into immortality.
“This is very special honor. I don’t think there could be anything that honors the hard work and the example we tried to set for our community, our university, and our program and all the players in it that what you all have decided to do today,” Nick Saban said during the meeting. “Terry and I have the utmost gratitude for this great legacy type award by naming the field for us. I can’t tell you how honored and how much appreciation we have for that.
Saban, 72, retired earlier this year after being the head coach at Alabama since 2007. During his time in Tuscaloosa, the Crimson Tide captured nine SEC Championships and six National Championships, bringing Saban’s total to seven, including the 2004 title while at LSU.
