One person whose words carry an intense amount of weight is Nick Saban.
He said upon his arrival to the University of Alabama in 2007 that he would give fans a program it would be proud of, and he delivered with five national championships. Saban’s influence on the sport of college football has had rules changed and it awarded him with a 10-game, conference-only schedule. More so than that, his love and willingness to support his players led to the iconic “Black Lives Matter” tribute — which featured offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood as the writer of the piece.
