Alabama football set to name field after legendary Nick Saban

Alabama football’s legacy is determined by how dynastic its coaches have built up the program during their tenure. Nick Saban has become synonymous with the Crimson Tide and its longstanding winning tradition. Now that he has transitioned out of the program due to retirement, the university is pulling off a big gesture to honor the indelible mark that he left on countless generations of players and fans.
The Alabama football program will name Bryand-Denny Stadium’s field after Nick Saban. An official celebration and induction will be held when the Crimson Tide faces South Florida on the seventh of September, per Chris Low of ESPN . All of this is just tentative, however, because the board of trustees still has to have a meeting on the 19th of July to confirm the move. The agenda is set to be focused on "consideration of resolution approving a naming at Bryant-Denny Stadium at UA.’
While Saban will no longer be giving orders on the sidelines or crafting schemes for the Alabama football program, his college football prowess will still be on display as an analyst for ESPN. After all, someone who has built a culture that has won six national championships and only lost nine home games cannot be taken away from the game for too long.
This tribute is all but fitting for the schematic mastermind. He has poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this. At times, he would even get very immersed in the family of the athlete that he was recruiting and did stuff like danced with them in their living rooms. It was an insane 17-season run with a 21-game win streak placed at the tail end.
