Nick Saban gives speech at Grambling State to represent Eddie Robinson

He is regarded as the greatest college football coach of all-time and while he runs the University of Alabama, Nick Saban has no problem showing love to historical black schools too.

In typical Saban style, he was given a police escort to Grambling State University in Louisiana as he was the guest speaker for the “Legacy Keepers: Preserving the Eddie Robinson Playbook” series.

He became the second speaker for 2019 to participate in the event and was meet outside the museum by the World Famed Marching Band. Before speaking at the venue, Saban paid homage to the 100th anniversary of the Eddie Robinson committee in taking some photos in front of Robinson’s statue with key members of the committee and other dignitaries.
