Nick Saban delivers candid tribute to his wife, Terry Saban, on their 49th wedding anniversary

It is great to be valued and appreciated by your assistant coaches, players, peers and fans, but carrying the same value at home places someone in a class of its own.

Today is a special day for Nick Saban.

As the head football coach for the University of Alabama, he is celebrating his 49th wedding anniversary. He and his wife, Mrs. Terry Saban, got married in 1971 and the two have withstood the test of time. The two opposites first met each other at a science camp in the seventh grade. They would start dating years later, when Saban attended Kent State and Terry was a teacher in West Virginia.
