Nick Saban Named First 2025 Hall of Fame Inductee, One Year After Retirement
Jan 10, 2025, 11:44 PM
Nick Saban, former head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, has been named the first member of the College Football Hall of Fame's 2025 class, exactly one year after announcing his retirement. The announcement was made on ESPN's College GameDay, where Saban was surprised on-air with the news. He is a seven-time national champion, eight-time SEC champion, and a two-time recipient of both the Walter Camp and Associated Press Coach of the Year awards. Upon receiving the news, Saban humbly credited his success to those around him, stating, "Any time something like this happens, it's because you had a lot of great people in your organization—a lot of great players, a lot of great coaches, a lot of great support staff, and they made a great team. I was happy to drive the bus, but we had some great people on it."
