This year, Alabama football did not make the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff, its first season under head coach Kalen DeBoer. Despite a 9-4 record, many felt DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide failed to meet expectations following leadman Nick Saban’s epic 17-year run. Alabama was dominant under Saban, who will be immortalized in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2025.
Saban led Alabama football to six national titles, making his mark on the program and college football arguably the greatest of any head coach in sports history. With Saban destined for the College Football Hall of Fame, the Crimson Tide celebrated the frontman for his historic achievement.
Nick Saban Honored By Alabama Football Fans
According to Alabama Football on Twitter:
A Legacy of Excellence Congratulations, Coach Nick Saban, on your induction into the 2025 College Football Hall of Fame! #RollTide
This month, longtime Alabama football head coach Nick Saban earned a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame. He will join Virginia Tech’s Mike Vick, Ohio State’s Urban Meyer, Wisconsin’s Montee Ball, and West Virginia’s Steve Slaton, among others. Meyer and Saban are joined by head coaches Larry Korver (Northwestern College) and Larry Blakeney (Troy).
Saban started his college head coaching career with a 9-2 record with the Toledo Rockets in 1990. He rose to prominence with the LSU Tigers from 2000 to 2004, winning a national title before heading to the NFL as the next head coach for the Miami Dolphins. Saban returned to college in 2007, where the elder statesman spent 17 years turning Alabama football into an elite program. He posted a 206-29 record, housed four Heisman Trophy Award winners, and won six national titles. On Wednesday, fans congratulated Saban for his College Football Hall of Fame career.
