As Alabama football makes its triumphant return to the small screen this fall, head coach Nick Saban will also reprise his most famous television role.
Playing himself.
Whether it’s in movies like “The Blindside” or giving fashion advice in a Regions Base ad, his resume is nearly as impressive as it is on the football field.
But in Aflac’s new television spot titled “The Visit”, Saban shares a taste of his recruiting process as he meets with a couple to recruit them to the “Aflac family”.

In multiple television commercials which will launch on Aug. 24 Saban will be “working to help educate fans on how easy it is to help protect themselves against unforeseen medical expenses and holes in their health coverage.”
Aflac is the newest SEC’s sponsor and will promote themselves throughout multiple shows on ESPN and the SEC Network including the Paul Finebaum show.
“We’re pleased to welcome Aflac to our SEC official sponsor family,” said SEC commissioner Greg Sankey in a press release. “Aflac has long been a supporter of college athletics, is the leader in its field and – being based in Columbus, Georgia – is very familiar with the SEC. We’re proud to have a quality company that employs many graduates of our member schools in our official sponsor.
