Nick Saban was asked who he feels is the greatest coach of all-time during an interview for the upcoming “Nothing But A Winner” documentary.
Saban is regarded by many to be the greatest college football coach of all time after he won seven National Championships as a head coach. He also led one of the greatest dynasties the sport had ever seen when he took over in Tuscaloosa.
However, the legendary coach does not give himself the recognition of being the greatest coach ever. Saban thinks Paul “Bear” Bryant deserves the honor.
“I think that coach Bryant is the greatest coach of all time,” Saban said.
