Whether it was Mrs. Terry Saban or his children, the 70-year-old is dabbling in a little technology. According to ESPN’s Chris Low, Saban admits to using text messages. We do not know what emojis he prefers or if he uses them at all, but he is stepping out of his comfort zone. Saban told Low he has ‘made huge advances’ in technology, but he is taking things slowly.
Nick Saban admitted to me that he has finally broken down and sent a few text messages. “They’re one-liners or two liners, not long. … So I’m getting there. Technology-wise, I’ve made huge advances.” As for graduating to e-mail? “No, absolutely not!”

When it comes to emails, the seven-time national champion is not ready yet.
Saban is an old-school guy, and he sees value in face-to-face conversations. He has adjusted to numerous changes in college football and continues to excel. It is great to see him make those adjustments in giving technology a chance to grow on him.
