Retired college football coaching legend Nick Saban enjoyed the Fourth of July with his family, and he even brought the laughs to his daughter, Kristen.
Over the Fourth of July holidays, the former Alabama coach hilariously drove around on a lawnmower… indoors, and he was driving it in circles too.
As per Saban’s daughter Kristen’s story, the entire Saban family greeted everybody a happy Fourth of July. They soon enjoyed a fireworks display later in the evening.
Saban retired from coaching in 2023 after a decades-long career, coaching mostly college teams and having a brief stint coaching the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. He is best known for coaching the Alabama Crimson Tide, winning six national championships with them.
The 73-year-old made a name for himself as the head coach of the LSU Tigers in the early 2000s, winning his first championship in 2003.
Since retiring, Saban has become a college football broadcast personality. He is seen serving as an analyst for ESPN’s “College Game Day” and contributing to several football events, including the NFL Draft and SEC Media Days, as well as covering the College Football Playoffs.
Nick Saban Has Advice For Players Who Want To Focus on Getting NIL Money
Nick Saban has been a mainstay of college football for decades now, so the former Crimson Tide coach knows a thing or two regarding navigating the NCAA. However, things have changed since his time at Alabama, with college sports having entered the NIL era, where teams are obliged to share NIL money with their players.
During an appearance on “Pure Athlete,” Saban had some advice for players regarding NIL. As per him, if the players want more money, they should first focus on improving themselves as players.
“I think the focus needs to be on development,” Nick Saban said. “I think the guys that took the best advantage of their opportunities in college – at least that I had an experience with – were the guys that weren’t necessarily focused on the outcome of what they wanted to ultimately accomplish.”
“But they were able to stay focused on the things they needed to do to get that outcome, which means you’re focused on your development on a day-to-day basis in terms of the character and attitude that you, sort of, live your life and develop the kind of work habits and perseverance,” he added.
Outside of football, Nick Saban founded the Nick’s Kids Foundation and has been helping children in need since. He was noted for raising over $1 million for his charity foundation during his first three years in Alabama.
He is also a businessman, being the co-owner of Dream Motors, a luxury car dealership that he has partnered with former Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Steve Cannon.
