After Alabama’s 31-29, heart-stopping victory Saturday over Florida, The Dodd Trophy, named after former Georgia Tech head coach Bobby Dodd, named Nick Saban its coach of the week.

Jim Terry, the chairman of the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation, released this statement on the selection of Saban.

“This was another significant victory for Alabama that now puts the Crimson Tide in the driver’s seat for the SEC West and another College Football Playoff bid,” said Terry, chairman. “Coach Dodd would have appreciated Coach Saban’s ability to keep his team poised in a hostile road environment and a highly competitive game against a solid Florida team.”

“Coach Saban continues to set records both on and off the football field,” said Gary Stokan, CEO, and president of the Peach Bowl. “Nick is a former winner of The Dodd Trophy, and truly epitomizes everything that the award stands for. What he’s been able to achieve throughout his career is truly unparalleled and he continues to make his mark as one of the greatest coaches to ever coach the game.”

Saban’s squad takes a break from SEC play in Week 4, hosting Southern Miss on Saturday.
