1. Alabama Football Coaching Legend Nick Saban

Coach Saban still roaming the sidelines instills fear in any opposing coach. In eleven years at Alabama, he has 132 wins and 20 losses. For the past ten years, Alabama has been ranked as the number one team in the nation at some point during the season. Saban has acquired five SEC titles. He has won five national championship titles in the past nine years.

Saban will ensure that through all the coaching transition the players mesh well with the new coaches. The six-time National Coach of the Year’s vast experience will be needed as he incorporates two new coordinators. A master evaluator of talent, Saban has produced two Heisman winners, 29 consensus All-Americans and 22 players drafted in the first round.  Nuff said.  It feels good to be the king.

Next: Tide-Saban Dynasty, Best Ever

The Crimson Tide are not locks to win it all, but it should be the favorite.  Injuries, complacency, new kicking specialists, and key losses from the defensive secondary could derail the Tide’s championship chances.
