Shortly following the reports of Nick Saban retiring from coaching at Alabama, his wife Miss Terry shared a statement from the Nick’s Kids Foundation, Facebook page.
“It has been an incredible run these last 17 years at the University of Alabama and we take with us many amazing memories. We hope that the Saban legacy will be about helping others and making a positive difference in people’s lives as well as the winning tradition on the field. Our Nick’s Kids Foundation will continue to help children, student, and teacher causes in the State of Alabama. The rules for the game of football may change, but the ‘process’ will never go out of style: hard work, discipline, the relentless pursuit of a worthy goal, not cutting corners, and doing things the right way for the sake of constant personal improvement, not for the scoreboard. Alabama will always feel like ‘Sweet Home’ to our family, and we’ll be cheering ‘Roll Tide’!”
Saban arrived at Alabama in 2007 where he has since created one of the greatest dynasties in college football history. In his tenure with the Crimson Tide, Saban owned a record of 206-29 with six national championships.
Miss Terry and the Saban family’s impact has also been profound in the community as the Nicks Kids Foundation has assisted in distributing over $11 million to hundreds of organizations and causes.
