The car skills the 72-year-old learned then have him interested in dealerships after his coaching career is done. He has his eyes on Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz, but Saban’s group made a significant splash in the Mercedes-Benz department. Saban aided his motor group in a $700 million purchase of two Mercedes-Benz stores in Florida. An article from Automotive News surfaced Wednesday with the story. Saban’s Dream Motor Group consists of Steve Cannon, former CEO of Mercedes-Benz, and current CEO Joe Agresti. Coach Saban enjoys quality cars, but he also enjoys providing the best service to people for the cars.

He is getting his Alabama football team prepared to face Kentucky this weekend.

The Crimson Tide can win the Southeastern Conference Western Division title with a victory.
