Nick Saban takes home a national Coach of the Year award
There aren’t many national trophies the Alabama Crimson Tide didn’t win this year. DeVonta Smith won the Heisman Trophy (and many other awards). Alabama players won 7 of the 12 trophies awarded during the College Football Awards Show.
Oh, and the Crimson Tide won a little thing called the College Football Playoff National Championship Game on Monday night.
Now, coach Nick Saban has won another award. On Wednesday night, Saban won the Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year Award:
The Paul “Bear” Bryant Award goes to @AlabamaFTBL Head Coach, Nick Saban.

Saban beat out Clemson’s Dabo Swinney, Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly, Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher, Oregon’s Mario Cristobal, Iowa State’s Matt Campbell, Coastal Carolina’s Jamey Chadwell and Indiana’s Tom Allen.
The Bryant Award also raises money for the American Heart Association. LSU’s Ed Orgeron won the trophy last year.
Well deserved …almost any year but especially this year.
And FINALLY! The first time he’s won it! (????)
First time at Bama. He won it at LSU once.
Yes.
I mean, right?!
He deserved it. He has deserved it more often but they take Bama’s excellence for granted. Like the players just show up, knock on his door, and ask for a place on he team. Then Harry Potter shows up waving a magic wand to cause the players to develop and game plans to fall from the sky.
This is outrages…I cant think of at least 10 coaches that were better(sarcasm). What was the delay on this?
He has deserved this award many times since he’s been at Bama. He should be a shoe in for the Paul “Bear” Bryant Lifetime Achievement Award. May as well give him that one right away.
Saban beat out Clemson’s Dabo Swinney, Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly, Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher, Oregon’s Mario Cristobal, Iowa State’s Matt Campbell, Coastal Carolina’s Jamey Chadwell and Indiana’s Tom Allen…don’t understand it, Mullet won the SEC East…
4 loss Mullet.
