Alabama drops incredible tribute video for Nick Saban, narrated by Tom Rinaldi

Alabama released a tribute video to Nick Saban on Thursday, looking back on the legacy of the legendary head coach after his retirement on Wednesday.

To narrarate the video, called “Your Story”, the program enlisted FOX Sports reporter Tom Rinaldi, who had a up-close-and-personal view of Saban and the Tide’s success while at ESPN.

“It’s hard to imagine that one man can change a university, a program, a town, and a team as much as you have, but here you are,” Rinaldi narrated.

The video takes viewers through Saban’s hiring in 2007 and his introductory press conference, to their first of 6 national championships under him in 2009 and the program’s 1st Heisman Trophy winner that same year, awarded to Mark Ingram — with 3 others ending up with the award during his tenure.

It also highlights Saban’s impact on the community along with his Miss Terry, his wife, including in the aftermath of the 2011 tornado that killed over 60 people and injured over 1,000.

“You didn’t run from adversity. You attacked it,” Rinaldi said.

There’s plenty of highlights to choose from, but watch for yourself below:
