Turning of the Tide | Part 1: The Arrival of Nick Saban

I’ll never forget how embarrassed I was as a kid to be a fan of Alabama. Those pre Saban days were rough and the only thing keeping me a fan was the stories of all the championships and great players from days past told to me by my dad and grandpa. All that being said, I’m so happy and appreciative of everything Saban has accomplished at Alabama. He’s definitely made it easy to be a proud Bama fan again.

“I’m not going to tell you what we’re going to accomplish, I’m going to tell you HOW we’re gonna do it.” That’s how you knew good things were in store for the Tide.

People dont realize Julio had prototypical measures as a junior in high school! I got recruited with him , Hightower, John Michael Boswell, Tyler Love, Marcel ect....Julio was the real deal, once in a lifetime talent! Watching this brought back so many memories, i didnt play with Alabama but the recruitment experience was amazing!

I love that Saban is also a good Catholic man... he’s a hothead on the field, but he’s a leader and mentors his men!!!

I’m a Buckeye fan and I can really appreciate this series. I remember when Bamba was struggling and I was pretty happy when they hired Nick Saban. The football world wasn’t quite right with Bamba not performing as they should. Looking forward to a great game!

and since that day, teams have all wanted Alabama. Its nice to feel wanted, even when you regret it later.

I’m an OU fan! I have watched this documentary like 4 times. I love college football. There is no doubt Nick Saban is the best College Football Coach in my lifetime so far.

Love this. Anxiously waiting for notification.

Roll Dam Tide!! Nick Saban needs to make 20 million a year. The best coach ever and the best coach ever at the University of Alabama!!! Unbiased by race at any and every position!!! NO WALLACE!! NO "I GOT TO GET ME ONE OF THEM!!" Just a great man at the greatest University. Roll Tide Roll!!

Never forget the members of the 2007 and 2008 teams who bought in, worked their tails off and built the foundation for what everyone has seen over the past 12 seasons. Several of them didn't win rings/titles before they left. Instead they did the hard work of lifting the program up and giving it the direction we've enjoyed since they left. I'd list names but there are too many. Bama fans know who you are, men - and we thank you. Roll Tide!

Listened every game to John Forney broadcast the good and the bad. Blessed to attend Alabama in the championship year of 1978. Bama had years of down seasons post Bryant. Still loved Alabama football!

Awesome! Can't wait for part 2

Kudos to the miami dolphins players for not embracing the process so saban can come back to teach kids,i enjoyed every minute of it. RTR

The greatest dynasty in the history of college football!!

Sure is good to be back.... September 23rd 1978 day i became a fan..(fyi lost that day to USC)... thank u nick... u da man!!!

Outstanding!

So cool! He’s so great in Foley and he’ll be great as always at Alabama!!!!! Julio was and still is great! Miss seeing him here in Foley! And at Alabama. Atlanta Falcons had him first in NFL! Lucky team!

I watched a documentary about Tua and decided to continue... I haven't stopped. Was never interested in college football, but now I am a total Alabama fan. I've looked up the school, the football team, the history (which was not so good. I was surprised to find out it was the college that famously and reluctantly let black students in their school) Love watching Tua and Alabama Tide play. I've watched other players love watching the Coaches press releases, love Nick Saban, he is the man. Go Crimson Tide!!! Oh, and I am a number 1 rugby fan from NZ, Go ALL Blacks!!! For those who don't know - the greatest winning sports team in the last 100 yrs.

THANK YOU COACH SABAN...ROLL TIDE FOREVER!!!

Best coach in college football! Roll tide coach Saban ❤🐘🏈#🏆
