Nick Saban shares funny story about how he and Miss Terry celebrate wins

Nick Saban is a master of fighting complacency. It’s a huge part of his DNA and how he’s wired. As much as he’s won over the years with the Alabama Crimson Tide, one of the reasons he’s been so successful has been by not letting all that winning go to his head.

You certainly won’t see him celebrating wins for too long. But he still does it, and he’s always allowed his players 24 hours to reflect on both the positive and negative aspects of their last game.

Nick Saban shares a funny story about how they celebrate

On the Thursday evening edition of the, “Hey Coach Show with Nick Saban“, the legendary football coach opened up a bit and shared how he and his wife, Miss Terry, celebrate the big wins for Alabama football.

What does the 24 hour rule look like for Saban after a big win?

“(Laughs). You know, you put me on the spot here. I think you should ask her,” Saban began.

“Anyway. We always enjoy the time we spend together. We don’t get very much time to spend. Obviously, when you don’t have success it’s not much fun. But when we do, we enjoy it. We actually have an enjoyable ride home. We have a favorite song that we listen to. We usually talk a little bit about the game and some of the things that happened in the game. And maybe things that, you know, we could’ve done differently, or whatever,” the legendary football coach said.

“And then, we usually just do something to try to take our mind off of it. Sometimes we watch football games a little bit. If we played in the daytime and there’s some on at night. And then, when we get sick of that, which doesn’t take me long sometimes after all week. We’ll watch something on Netflix and she’s responsible for that. She picks that out. So, Netflix, Amazon, or whatever, so,” Saban continued.

What’s the name of the favorite TV show he’s been watching lately?

“I can’t even tell you the name of it,” the Alabama football coach noted. He paused for a few seconds and said, “It’s an Italian inspector, that’s all I know.”

The legendary football coach then dove into a funny story about the shows they watch. “You know, the thing that amazes me about this, is we watch some of these shows sometimes and it takes us a long time because I only watch like one episode, maybe, a night. When I get home at 10 o’clock or whatever. But, you know, we have to read the captions or whatever they call them. Yeah. The subtitles. Because, it’s a foreign language. And Terry keeps saying, ‘Turn it up. I can’t hear it.’ (Laughs). I mean, what are we doing here?” Saban laughed.

It just goes to show you, sometime even one of the greatest in the history of the sport has to take a break from the day-to-day grind.

The Alabama Crimson Tide face off against the Georgia Bulldogs in one of the biggest games of the 2023 college football season. The 2023 SEC Championship Game will take place on Saturday, Dec. 2nd. Kick time is slated for 4:00 PM EST.
