You knew it was coming, and now it has been announced. There will be numerous documentaries made and books written about Nick Saban, the consensus greatest coach in college football history, now that his illustrious coaching career came to a close two years ago.

ESPN announced a six-part documentary series aptly titled "Saban" in conjunction with Words + Pictures is in the works with a release date to be determined.

Directed by Russell Dinallo, ESPN Press Room's Garrett Cowan writes, "the series will tell 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."

ESPN's 'Saban' documentary has Alabama fans excited

There's no release date for the series yet. The ESPN story says they have hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage that features Saban on the practice field and in the locker room during his time at Alabama, but also before that with the Miami Dolphins, LSU, and Michigan State.

“With my coaching days behind me, Ms. Terry and I have been doing a lot of reflection and realized we were ready to tell our story,” Nick Saban said via the ESPN press release. “The team at Words + Pictures has encouraged me to really look back not just at my time at Alabama, but every stop along the way – and not just reflect on what happened but consider the process which made it happen. I interacted with a lot of players and coaches along the way and I’m happy to see that so many of them have contributed to this docuseries. There’s a lot to tell, and I’m excited to share it all.”

The behind-the-scenes look at Saban's coaching career, particularly during his time in Tuscaloosa, will be a gold mine for Alabama football fans.

During his 17-year run at Alabama, Saban led the Crimson Tide to six National Championships in an unprecedented period of success.
