Veteran leadership returning has been ‘very helpful’ for Alabama during summer workouts, according to Nick Saban

Regardless of those who feel like Alabama’s window of national championships is closing, the players and coaches inside the football program are carrying a different tune.

The third year in a series has served as a national title year for Nick Saban at Alabama, dating back to him being hired to the Crimson Tide in 2007. After building the program toward success in 2007 and 2008, Saban punched in a championship in 2009.

Despite falling short in 2013 and 2014, he and Alabama struck again with a title in 2015. It lost to Clemson in the 2019 College Football Playoff title matchup (2018 season) and missed the CFP last year; however, it has only fueled Saban and company to return better than ever.
