When one has surpassed the legendary Paul W. “Bear” Bryant for national championships, it deserves its own team.
After beating Ohio State and winning No. 7 on Monday for Alabama football, ESPN released its All-Saban team on Thursday to pay homage to Nick Saban. The 2020 season was his 25th year in the coaching profession, and the network wanted to compile a team of his best players during his coaching tenure. Upon seeing the All-Saban team, created by Ryan McGee, Tua Tagovailoa starts the list at quarterback. AJ McCarron was a two-time BCS National Championship, but the native Hawaiian did change the perception of how fans and media discuss the Crimson Tide.
