SABAN SEEKS OUT ARKANSAS PLAYER AFTER FATHER DIES

Alabama head football coach Nick Saban eschewed routine for just a moment after the Alabama-Arkansas game, instead offering condolences to an Ankansas player who lost his father just a week ago.

Frank Ragnow just made All Pro with the Detroit Lions for 2020.
He ranks 4th in the entire NFL at the center position, 0 sacks allowed in 871 snaps.

This isn't class. This is genuine humanity. Well done coach.

[stevenpritchett]

Just when I can't stand Saban anymore...He goes and does something like this. Respect.

If anybody needs to look that up it's called CLASS, every letter capitalized. Best wishes to that Arkansas player

As an LSU fan, I've gotta say I'm not surprised to see coach Saban treating another player with exceptional respect and class. Well done coach.

If people hate coach Saban-it's only because they are jealous. He's a great coach.

[bradcarpenter]

This is evidence for those who hate him.  He's a great person, leader and mentor of others.  Thank you, Nick.

Saban is not only the GOAT of College Coaching, but a great wonderful Human Being

[jasonbooth]

He'll remember that conversation the rest of his life. Nick is a great Coach and mentor. Roll Tide!

I'm a Notre Dame fan through and through, but I'm continuously reminded that Nick Saban is a true class act.... nothing but respect.

This touches my heart deeply. I lost my dad right after I got out of high school, and I already admired Nick Saban before this. Now I have even more respect for this coach.

[laughtoohard]

I had a coach like that once. He's been a huge influence in my life. He still is after 43 years.

This is why the tide has great teams every year. They have a leader with character. This post is coming from a die hard buckeye.

[kimberlynaramore]

Saban is a man of TRUE integrity and a FIRST CLASS ACT.

[johnkantor]

This is why Nick is one of the greatest ever. Besides the fact that he produces NFL talent and leads his team to top spots/championships year after year. Coming from a buckeye fan much respect to him and the tide!!!

[garyrobertson]

An Arkansas fan here ... he is the greatest coach in NCAA history a class act


BTW ROLL TIDE beat cow college LOL

[storyofcory]

Wow... I already respected the hell out of Saban from a coaching standpoint. Nothin' but mad respect for him now as a person. <3

[alnonymous]

Even more than pure class, Coach Saban's action was that of a decent human being and a man who has feelings.

Bill Belichick of College...but like...cooler

Class move by Coach Saban. I experienced the death of my mom in the first quarter of my freshman year of college... and my dad at 24. God bless you, Nick. I know it meant a lot to this young man 😎
