On Jan. 10, 2024, Nick Saban announced his retirement as the head coach of the University of Alabama. Widely regarded as one of the best college football coaches, the announcement comes soon after his team lost to Michigan on Monday in the Rose Bowl (via USA Today).
In an interview, Nick Saban’s wife, Terry, revealed that her husband planned on watching movies over other football games. This was before he announced stepping down as the head coach.
Nick Saban began as the Alabama coach in 2007. He turned the tide for the football program and made it one of the most successful. While he served as the head coach, Alabama won six national titles and hasn’t lost more than two games per season since 2008 (via NFL).
With the news of his retirement, fans are left wondering what the future holds for the former American football coach. Many are also curious about his family life, especially his kids. Nick Saban has been wedded to Terry since 1971. The couple has no biological children but share two adopted kids.
Nick Saban has two kids
Nick Saban has two adopted children: Nicholas Saban and Kristen Saban. The kids stay out of the spotlight, and little is known about them. Nicholas is a university graduate and an entrepreneur. On the other hand, Kristen previously worked under her father while attending the University of Alabama. The brother-sister duo is also quite involved with their parents’ non-profit.
Terry and Nick co-founded the Nick’s Kids Foundation “to help children, student, and teacher causes in the State of Alabama” (via Sports Illustrated). They hope to make a positive difference in people’s lives, with Terry emphasizing in an official statement that she would like the Saban legacy to be all about “helping others.”
