Saban: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Saban tells the story of Nick Saban's extraordinary career, highlighted by his 17 seasons at Alabama, where he led the team to six national titles and reestablished the Crimson Tide as the preeminent program in college football.

The series will peel back the curtain on the long closely guarded world of Saban, with hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage from the locker room and practice fields, as well as many other behind-the-scenes moments in his career at Alabama, and prior to that LSU, the Miami Dolphins, and Michigan State among other stops. There's also a wealth of present-day interviews with Saban and his wife, the legendary Ms. Terry Saban, whose own influence and impact played a massive role in Nick's success as a coach and leader.

Saban is a portrait of the relentless drive that powered seven national titles (six at Alabama, and one at LSU), produced four Heisman trophy winners, generations of NFL stars, and set a standard of greatness in college football that may never be met again. It also explores "The Process," Saban's famed approach to coaching that transformed his teams and defined his leadership style.
