We are honored to welcome Nick Saban as the 2025 Investor Symposium featured speaker. Join us for an exclusive fireside chat to hear his perspectives on the meaning of leadership and determination.
A man of vision who has a proven record of championship success, Nick Saban is the only coach to win seven national titles in the poll era of college football. A nine-time National Coach of the Year, Saban achieved resounding success as a head coach and earned a reputation as an outstanding tactician, leader, organizer, and motivator. Those qualities sparked impressive turnarounds at every stop of his career. Saban’s consistent approach and disciplined leadership are the reasons his teams are known for exhibiting grit, determination, and resilience, often overcoming adversity to achieve victory.
In his 28 seasons as a collegiate head coach, Saban compiled a 297-71-1 (.806) record, including a 206-29 (.877) mark at the University of Alabama. His teams have won 19 bowl/CFP games. Saban has won 11 total SEC Championships, nine at Alabama and two at Louisiana State University (2001 and 2003) to go along with the seven national championships (six at Alabama and one at LSU).
Saban’s uncompromising dedication to excellence in every part of his life is demonstrated by his support of Nick’s Kids Foundation. In 1998, during their time at Michigan State University, Nick and his wife Terry Saban established Nick's Kids Foundation in honor of the late Nick Saban, Sr. Since then, the Sabans have maintained and supported their charity throughout their careers at Louisiana State University, the Miami Dolphins and at the University of Alabama. As the official charity of the Saban Family, Nick and Terry invest their time in hosting luncheons, golf tournaments, scrimmages, and other events to benefit the cause. Nick and Terry also recently started the Saban Center, which is a first-of-its-kind STEM campus where education, experience, and innovation meet. It includes community partners at TCT and IGNITE, formerly Children's Hands-On Museum, plus public-private educational partnerships spanning the state of Alabama. Saban Center will be a hub for education training, arts participation and academic support for teachers and families alike.
A native of Monongah, W. Va., Saban is a 1973 graduate of Kent State University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in business. He earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Kent State in 1975. Saban retired from coaching at the end of the 2023 season and currently serves as a sportscaster for ESPN’s College Game Day.
