Although his birthday is not until Halloween, which is Sunday, Alabama head coach Nick Saban decided to celebrate his birthday a little early with his players.
Saban, who turns 70 this year, doesn’t look like he is slowing down or plans to slow down any time soon.

When asked about retirement and taking it easy soon during a Wednesday teleconference, Saban said this via the Touchdown Alabama:
“I’ve never really thought about it, to be honest with you,” he said. “But I can tell you that I’m thankful every day and feel blessed that I have the opportunity to continue to be healthy and able to do this job without a lot of issues or problems.
Saban has always said in the past that as long as he was healthy and not bringing the program down, he would continue to coach at Alabama, something most SEC fans hated to hear.
