ESPN and Words + Pictures are collaborating on a six-part docuseries, "Saban," chronicling the life and career of legendary former University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban. The series will delve into Saban's extraordinary career, most notably his 17 seasons at Alabama, where he secured six national titles and restored the Crimson Tide to its position as the dominant force in college football.

The docuseries promises an in-depth look at the strategies, leadership, and personal sacrifices that defined Saban's coaching tenure. Beyond the championships, "Saban" aims to explore the impact he had on players, the university, and the broader landscape of college football. From recruiting battles to game-day decisions, the series will dissect the key moments that shaped his legacy.

Saban's impact on college football is undeniable. His six national championships at Alabama (2009, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2020) place him among the greatest coaches of all time, rivaling the achievements of Bear Bryant. His ability to consistently produce top-ranked recruiting classes and develop players into NFL stars became a hallmark of his program. Quarterbacks like AJ McCarron, Blake Sims, and Tua Tagovailoa thrived under his guidance, leading potent offenses that overwhelmed opponents. Defensively, players like Derrick Thomas, Dont'a Hightower, and Minkah Fitzpatrick exemplified the hard-nosed, disciplined style that became synonymous with Alabama football.

"With my coaching days behind me, Ms. Terry and I have been doing a lot of reflection and realized we were ready to tell our story," Saban said in a statement. The series is expected to feature interviews with former players, coaches, rivals, and commentators, offering a comprehensive perspective on Saban's career.

The release date for "Saban" has not yet been announced.
