I’ve honestly never hated saban. Most people hate him because they are envious but he’s a great person. It’s guys like Ryan day, dabo, etc that are arrogant coaches that run their mouths
@@lifeinvestments6329 Honestly the only reason I had any issues with him is the games he plays with recruiting. Many times he has offered scholarships then made the player wait until the next season to honor it (aka over recruiting). But either way, he always gets quality talent and normally has great success with it.
Roll Tide I'm sure you're saying Go Tigers. I hated to see Sir Les get booted (that was tacky, and typical SEC way of dealing with coaches). I do like Coach Orgeron and eventually he'll rebuild LSU if given the chance. Gonna be a great game regardless of either teams current records. Be safe, go SEC.
Brad Carpenter , I chain video'd my way too this one. Saban is a great coach, and I can't lie, I always thought he was a major dick. And then I saw this. Changes my perspective.
Matt Smith of you don't like my video on my own page, that's your problem. I love my country and will teach my child to love his country as well. Maybe you need to realize that just because YOU don't like something doesn't mean everyone else shouldn't like it. Piss off. If you don't like the US, you're always free to leave. Good luck.
Matt Smith "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else." Teddy Roosevelt
Im an auburn fan but i love this dude. Only people who hate him are the ones that are jealous of his success but know nothing about him. Sabans a great guy and bamas lucky to have him
Aye your team gets a chance to crush his team lol. You're right about Saban. Anyway, best of luck against Alabama. Lots of folks aren't giving ND a chance, but we'll see.
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.
Yup. And make sure when you do what he did, don't do it in private. Do it on the field, after the game, with all the cameras surrounding you, so you could make the evening news. He did not even wait for the reaction of the Arkansas player. 0:18. No hand shake, no big hug, just a pat on the shoulder for you are the better human, right. Did his number and ran away.
@@sorellman “No hand shake”.......the first thing he did was shake his hand, did you watch the video? 0:10 He shook his hand and looked him in the eyes while talking to him. He later released his hand and patted him on the shoulder for the remainder of the conversation.
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 😎
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!!!
I lost my father unexpectedly when i was 19 years old. I saw him for lunch then 4 hours later, massive stroke and i got dreaded hospital phone call. He was a great dad to me and i think of him daily. Its been 20 years now. RIP Mark Eugene Walker.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Keep those lovely memories of times spent with your Dad close to your heart. I'm sure he's really proud of you and the person you've become.
2024 Update: Frank Ragnow is still the starting centre for the Detroit Lions, signing a 4 year extension in 2021 that made him the highest paid player at his position in NFL history. He has made the Pro Bowl 3 times, and has been named Second Team All Pro twice.
Many people think it's just about winning for a coach. Truth is, a true coach is looking at impacting a player's life. Seeking to teach life lessons for when the athlete leaves the game. I've never met this player, but I can tell you it meant a lot to him for Saban to show he cared.
As a die-hard Arkansas Razorback fan this was a real classy thing to do for Coach Saban it's on my bucket list that one day I will shake Nick Saban's hand fan I have nothing but the utmost respect for this man and what he's done for Alabama's football program and also root for Alabama when they play Auburn
I'm from Alabama, you seem to be from Arkansas. That was a very nice and classy statement you made. I get tired of fans making tacky statements when in the end ... it's just a game .... and not a one of US fans are actually out their on the field. The young men that are living their dream of playing college football and hopefully moving on to the NFL is on them. We are just along for the ride. I wouldn't expect anyone to root for a team outside of their state (unless you've moved elsewhere or have other affiliations) to root for another team. If I were to meet you I'd gladly shake your hand, say Roll Tide ... and expect you to say Go Razorbacks, then we could decide on who buys the next round of beers, etc. GO SEC ... and my God bless you and your loved ones.
bama phoenix you would say Roll Tide and I would say woo Pig sooie and thank you for those kind words God bless you and your family too sir I'm by the way kick Auburns ass please
Thanks lots, you're awesome. We have to be careful about the "Pig Sooie" thing in Alabama .... you know .... some folks may think we are calling out for our sister or cousins. LOL Yep, gonna have to whoop up on Auburn. And you guys gotta whoop up on Ole Miss. Enjoy your weekend. I'm gonna subscribe to your channel. Maybe we can help each other's channel grow. ROLL TIDE and Pig Sooooie to ya. Peace out ;o)
bama phoenix other than Colorado for the last 17 years and the first time I ever said Woo Pig sooie or are they even heard the term roll tide they looked at me like what the hell is wrong with you they don't take college football seriously up this way like they do the NFL man I want to move back home so bad back in the South for people understand that college and high school football are religions anyway God bless you my friend I'll subscribe to your channel as well Roll Tide and woo Pig sooie!!!!!
I always admired Saban for doing this. You can see how happy the young man is when Saban came up to him. That meant so much to him. I hope that he's successful after his time at Arkansas.
Nick Saban is an awesome guy with an awesome heart!He personally felt this young man's pain and sincerely wanted to help him get through it.He may be tough and about business but he sincerely loves people.This is why most of us would love to have played for him.It would be an honor and a tremendous blessing to just meet a man like him.I would have loved to have had a Dad or coach like him.
@@volrising1500 fuck Tennessee. Pos university. All u stupid fucks care about is ur precious football team. Doesn't win shit even if they did who gives a flying rats ass.
You know, say what you will about Alabama and Saban, but he runs a clean program, and even though he may come off as grumpy sometimes, I do feel like he has a heart of gold, too.
@ Matt Smith When are you moron opposing fans going to realize, Alabama doesn't have to buy players? We have 5 stars begging to play for us, and 4 stars begging to grayshirt with us. Alabama doesn't have to pay players to keep up with the Joneses. Alabama IS the Joneses. It's your scrub team that has to pay players to keep up with the Alabamas of college football.
This is like coach Bowen did for him when his dad passed away. Just reaching out to let him know that if he needs someone he will do what he can for him.
I have admired Saban for a good while now, and this gives me proof I am right. He is a class act whom I can compare to Bud Wilkinson, a superb coach and a real gentleman who knew how to be a MAN.(I personally knew and worked with Bud for a while)
Lovely, caring gesture by Coach Saban. I'm sure those kind words from the Coach meant a great deal to that young man. Just goes to show it's not always about 'wins and losses'.....just being a decent human being and reaching out to those who may be hurting.
Hog fan here and I well. remember this. Very class act by Coach Saban. Ragnow was dumbfounded by it and hardly knew what to say. Best of luck in the NFL Frankie.
@@kennethwagster3788 you’re implying that he got put out of the NFL (fired) he left because he wanted Drew Brees and the Dolphins brass said no ...had he gotten Brees he would’ve never left
I'm from Arkansas, born and raised a hog fan. I know we don't have much to root for as a team and that man has been the blame of many bad days around here however, I feel humbled. It's refreshing to see how classy this man is. I may hate him once a year, but I have massive respect for him.
one of the hardest things I ever done in my life was walk up and look at my dad laying in a casket absolutely nothing prepares you for that moment in your life in 20 years later I still remember the day the time the hour the minute on the clock he took his last breath
I lost my dad in my 40s. Agreed, nothing can prepare you for that last moment as they close the casket. I was too devastated to speak at the funeral, so my young son stood up for me and delivered a speech he had earlier written for a school assignment about his Opa. Heartbreaking and proud at the same time. 😭😇
What a class act this man is. Can you imagine being one of the few young men fortunate enough to be coached by Saban? What a feeling it must be to make him proud when all he knows is excellence.
My local community in WV was devastated by a flood in 2016. He’s from WV but not near our community. The things he did for local high school sports will never be forgotten. Truly a class human being.
First timing seeing or hearing of this. You're a CLASS act Mr. Nick Saban !!! You sought out that young man FIRST and then went and shook the other coaches hand. KUDOS NICK !!! RTR FOREVER !!!
Saban will be remembered as a great coach, but to this kid he will be remembered as a caring soul. The latter is what really matters. This coming from huge bama fan. That is his greatest moment in football.
This is why Sports are so important to many of us.... it's not wins and loses.....it brings people together through good times....bad times....and in times of need.
Class act , class human being . He cares . SEC has some awesome coach's, players and fans . We don't see much behind the scenes , but this is just one example . The UK football team dedicated the Miss .St . game to a young boy who stole their hearts . Mon after the game the whole team were honorary pallbearers . What a tribute to that family . God is working behind the scenes thru people who love life and people . Athletes are amazing as are the coaches who show them in life there's more than winning , both on and off the field . That goes for all sports . God bless them all .
I coached football for 16 years. I used to ask my players, “Do you think what we are doing is about football”? No it’s about finding your limits. It’s about trusting the man next to you and knowing he can trust you. Mainly it’s about life and how you are going to live it. I had this situation where one of my players lost his mother and baby sister. He could have quit but he came back a week later. He was the strength and inspiration for the whole team. As tough as coach Saban acts, I think he understands this too. At any level, coach Saban is a class act.
Wasn’t born in Arkansas, but did most of my growing up there. I’m a huge fan of the Hogs, and I’m a huge fan of our conference. I’ve met so many fans over the decades that when their team ain’t playing for a national championship, they’re happy to cheer for their arch-rival that is in the hunt for one. Southeastern folks recognize class no matter who has it.
Matt Smith I️ don’t think he’s cheating I️ hate Alabama and there fans who didn’t even attend the university and just like them because they win just as much as the next guy but I️ can’t hate on the guy he’s a good coach
Max, I didn't attend the university either, but I've been a fan since I was a kid, and go to games occasionally, and I've had friends and relatives graduate from there. Can I stii be a fan?
I’m a big Sooners fan. Nothing but respect for Coach Saban. The man will go down in history as the greatest coaches to ever coach the game of football at the college level
Coming back to this a few years later as my own father passed away only a few months ago. I was only 23 so pretty young like Ragnow. This clip hits a lot harder now for sure.
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.
Thanks for the update. That is awesome. I just did tuxes for his o-line teammate Joe Dahl's wedding. Great guy too💯
@Cody Witt Yes
And it's all because Saban had this talk with him.
Oh, he got the throat fracture
Too bad he didn't stay home and play for the Gophers
This isn't class. This is genuine humanity. Well done coach.
It’s both
College football lost a lot more than a good coach when he retired, that's for sure.
@@willyvonshtupp at least he’s an analyst now for espn. We get to hear his insight.

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.

I hated to see Sir Les get booted (that was tacky, and typical SEC way of dealing with coaches). I do like Coach Orgeron and eventually he'll rebuild LSU if given the chance.

First timing seeing or hearing of this. You're a CLASS act Mr. Nick Saban !!! You sought out that young man FIRST and then went and shook the other coaches hand. KUDOS NICK !!! RTR FOREVER !!!
Saban will be remembered as a great coach, but to this kid he will be remembered as a caring soul. The latter is what really matters. This coming from huge bama fan. That is his greatest moment in football.
Very good man indeed. Id have to think that his spirit was lifted for a brief time because of Coach Sabans kindness.
Saban really is a great coach, and I am glad to see this side of him.
Nick Saban is a total class act , he has a heart for everyone and is a real hero, someone to look up to as a role model !!!!!
Thats my Man, he knows about how important a Father is to a young Man and he showed his compassion in a way that was Real. Great Man!!!!
This man gives coaching & humanity a good name!
He is the G.O.A.T. in every way!
RTR!!
Class act to do the right thing and show people that we can compete and still have compassion afterwards
Very Classy thing for Coach Saban to do and my Condolences to the Young man as LSU fan both are our Competitor but Respect always comes first
Well, that was a very strong showing of compassion and humility. I’ll never feel the same about Nick Saban again.
Such a classy man. Every thing must change eventually but I sure am enjoying the ride with coach Saban
This is why Sports are so important to many of us.... it's not wins and loses.....it brings people together through good times....bad times....and in times of need.
Damn, nothing but respect for that man
Class act , class human being . He cares . SEC has some awesome coach's, players and fans . We don't see much behind the scenes , but this is just one example . The UK football team dedicated the Miss .St . game to a young boy who stole their hearts . Mon after the game the whole team were honorary pallbearers . What a tribute to that family . God is working behind the scenes thru people who love life and people . Athletes are amazing as are the coaches who show them in life there's more than winning , both on and off the field . That goes for all sports . God bless them all .
the greatest coach of all time no questions class act an the best there is and this is coming from a VOLS fan
I coached football for 16 years. I used to ask my players, “Do you think what we are doing is about football”? No it’s about finding your limits. It’s about trusting the man next to you and knowing he can trust you. Mainly it’s about life and how you are going to live it. I had this situation where one of my players lost his mother and baby sister. He could have quit but he came back a week later. He was the strength and inspiration for the whole team. As tough as coach Saban acts, I think he understands this too. At any level, coach Saban is a class act.
i'm an auburn fan but that was classy. good job coach!
CLASS Move! Coach Saban is a gentleman and a gentle man. God Bless both these men.
I love Saban so much!! He’s just a great man!!!
ACC fan here...Coach Nick Saban is more than a great coach...he IS a great MAN.
If this doesn't demonstrate a man of high character, nothing will.
Wasn’t born in Arkansas, but did most of my growing up there. I’m a huge fan of the Hogs, and I’m a huge fan of our conference. I’ve met so many fans over the decades that when their team ain’t playing for a national championship, they’re happy to cheer for their arch-rival that is in the hunt for one.
Southeastern folks recognize class no matter who has it.
Very classy
Matt Smith you’re such a loser. This is about the fifth time I’ve seen you say this.
WOW..... hard to find words ... wonderful act of grace and kindness
saban is a class act and one of the best college coaches ever!!!
From this OSU fan, thank you Nick. You are the best! That kid will remember that for his whole life.
Classic West Virginian pure class
Matt Smith I️ don’t think he’s cheating I️ hate Alabama and there fans who didn’t even attend the university and just like them because they win just as much as the next guy but I️ can’t hate on the guy he’s a good coach
Max, I didn't attend the university either, but I've been a fan since I was a kid, and go to games occasionally, and I've had friends and relatives graduate from there. Can I stii be a fan?
Matts feelings hurt because Saban is a great coach. But please explain to all of us about him cheating. We're waiting for you awesome response.
@@briang6040 anybody can be a fan. Even if you live in New Zealand and watch the Allblacks.
I’m a big Sooners fan. Nothing but respect for Coach Saban. The man will go down in history as the greatest coaches to ever coach the game of football at the college level
I can only hate this man because of how good he is at his job. He's a great guy
Coming back to this a few years later as my own father passed away only a few months ago. I was only 23 so pretty young like Ragnow. This clip hits a lot harder now for sure.
Nick Saban is a good dude forreal. It’s not the first time I’ve heard a story like this
Well done sir!
Not a Saban fan to say the least, but this was a classy, touching and genuine thing to do. Nicely done sir.
