Tuscaloosa's Nick names: Four Tuscaloosa spots that bear the Saban name
Look who's turning 72.
University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban was born Oct. 31, 1951, in Fairmont, West Virginia. He came to Tuscaloosa in 2007 and has earned six national championships at the Capstone.
While he has brought plenty of trophies to Tuscaloosa, Saban has also lent his name to a series of local landmarks that reflect his priorities of family, faith and football.
As Saban turns 72, here's a look at those Tuscaloosa landmarks:
The statue
A 9-foot bronze statue of Saban debuted in April 2011 on the UA campus.
The custom of creating statues to commemorate coaches who led UA to national championships in football began in 2006, when statues of Wallace Wade, Frank Thomas, Paul W. "Bear" Bryant and Gene Stallings were installed along the Walk of Champions outside Bryant-Denny Stadium.
One space was left vacant for the next coach who would lead UA to the top of the college football mountain.
