Nick Saban has done a ridiculously good job during his time in Tuscaloosa.
Currently in his tenth year as head coach of the Alabama football team, Saban has a career 109-18 record — including a 63-12 conference record.
Saturday will be Nick Saban’s 45th career game coaching the AP No. 1 team. That will tie Woody Hayes & Bobby Bowden for the most ever.

For those keeping track at home, look at the following:
Career winning percentage at Alabama: 85.8-percent
Conference winning percentage: 84-percent
Saban’s won four National Titles, five conference championships, and six division crowns. His program routinely appears in the Top 10, and even holds this insane distinction:
Alabama has been ranked No. 1 in 33 percent of its 132 games coached by Saban.

Alabama has been ranked (at one point in the respective years) as the No. 1 team in each of the last nine seasons. In other words, a startling third of the time.
With the way Alabama recruits — coupled with Saban’s ability to coach — these statistical percentages surely appear primed to climb and climb.
