Alabama players have bonding experience at Habitat for Humanity in Tuscaloosa

Nick Saban has consistently shown he is more than a football coach.

He is a father figure, a mentor, a friend, a motivator, and someone who has made the Tuscaloosa community special.

Before he enters his 15th season at the University of Alabama, Saban and 12 players brought a smile to one woman’s face on Tuesday at the Nick’s Kids Foundation in Habitat for Humanity. With each national championship, Saban, Mrs. Terry, and the players build a home for someone else. It ties back into the legacy of Saban’s father, Nick Saban Sr., who wanted to see everyone in his community of West Virginia succeed.
