He is going after his seventh national championship in his coaching tenure, but Nick Saban is also a finalist for a national coaching honor as well.
According to the Football Writers Association of America, the 69-year-old has been selected for the Eddie Robinson Coach of Year honor. The announcement came on Wednesday, as the award goes to the best college football head coach in Division I.
It was named after Eddie Robinson, the legendary head coach at Grambling State University.
Saban won the honor in 2003 at LSU and 2008 at Alabama, however, his efforts with this team have been remarkable.
