Legendary college football coach Nick Saban is set to be inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame this year, as announced by the LSU football program. The induction event will take place on June 28 in Natchitoches, Louisiana, where Saban will join 11 other inductees. Originally elected to the Class of 2020, Saban’s induction ceremony was postponed due to the global pandemic, but he will now be honored at this year’s ceremonies.
Saban is known for revitalizing the LSU football program in the early 2000s, leading them to a National Championship victory in 2003. During his time as head coach at LSU, Saban also won the Southeastern Conference championship in 2001 and 2003, as well as the SEC West Division crowns in 2001-2003. He posted an impressive record of 48-16 (28-12 SEC) in Baton Rouge and was named national coach of the year in 2003.
Saban’s success continued when he moved on to coach at Alabama, where he won multiple national championships and solidified his status as one of the greatest college football coaches of all time. He became the first coach to lead two different FBS schools to a National Championship since 1936.
Now, Saban’s upcoming induction into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame further cements his legacy in the sports world. His contributions to LSU football and his overall impact on the game of college football will be celebrated as he takes his place among the state’s top sports figures.
