Nick Saban wins ICON Espy (Speech - MUST WATCH!)

[BamaMoon]

Do yourself a favor and watch this 7 minute speech. Coach at his best.
Bama was so blessed to have him!

 

[Tidewater]

Mal Moore ... chose wisely.

Somehow, The Gravedigger did not win best play.

 

[TNBama]

Wow, what a class act.

 

[teamplayer]

I would say that everyone should watch that and take it to heart. Help someone!

 

[CrimsonNagus]

4 more years, 4 more years, 4 more years!!!

We could use more Sabans in the world.

 

[BamaMoon]

4 more years, 4 more years, 4 more years!!!

We could use more Sabans in the world.

7 minute speech with no notes. Not one stumble, stutter or blank stare. Talked about others more than he talked about himself!

CNS for President!!!

 

[Bodhisattva]

GOAT

 

[bamajas]

So neat and inspiring. From the first moments he stepped off the plane in 2007, he used "we/us" language

 

[Con]

It was an awesome speech. We were fortunate to have him.

 

[CrimSonami]

As if we didn't already know, he's not just a football coach. He is an absolutely GREAT human being who uses football to coach, teach and inspire people. You, me and everyone else who chooses to actually listen to the man when he speaks will always gain something positive.

 

[TideRollsInPa]

Simply, the best

yeah, I heard Jackson "throwing a pass to himself" won. Not even the first time that has happened

 

[Krymsonman]

Geez, I am going to miss that man so much!! I wish that the total deterioration of college football hadn't run him off. Roll Tide CNS.

In a room full of some of the biggest stars in sports, Nick Saban became everyone's head coach.

One time they zoomed in on Andy Reid and he was listening intently! CNS speaks with such authority because everybody knows what he's talking about concerning football and life has worked for him!

I didn't even remember that play so I pulled it up to watch it. It wasn't even close to being a special play. His pass is batted up in the air, and he has to run 4-5 steps to catch it and keep running. And the result of the play - a first down. That's it. It was almost a routine play. One of Jackson's linemen could have caught it and done the same thing. How this play beat out Gravedigger is another mystery of sports. Gravedigger was a true miracle.

Had it been Auburn (or any other team, I dare say ) throwing it to beat us, it would have won.

plus Baltimore still lost the game. It meant nothing.

Great speech by a great coach but even a better person!
