People like being associated with a winner even if they are never around them.
Nick Saban is one of the biggest names in all of the sports.

His admirers respect him, his critics want to see him fall from college football greatness, and those on the outside enjoy watching him guide a winning brand. In his time of presidency from 2017 to 2021, Saban and the Crimson Tide visited Donald Trump at the White House in 2017 and 2020 as College Football Playoff National Champions. Trump took in Alabama’s 2019 matchup against Louisiana State University at Bryant-Denny Stadium. He’s trying to run for the U.S. President again in 2024 and made a Freudian slip of Saban in a Texas rally speech. The definition of “Freudian slip” is an unintentional error regarded as revealing subconscious feelings.” Fans of the Texas Longhorns thought Saban would leave the Crimson Tide to coach its program earlier in his tenure with the Tide. He has won six national championships in Tuscaloosa (Ala.) and looks for more.
