Nick Saban 'I don't Karaoke, I Dance'

The Alabama head coach detailed what it took to get a date growing up in West Virginia.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban and his wife Terry will celebrate their 52nd wedding anniversary in December. The first couple of college football can often be seen sharing a pregame kiss or putting on a united front while serving the community through the "Nick's Kids Foundation". 

The pair has also been caught in their home dancing with one another, recruits and other members of the Alabama staff during recruiting weekends.

The seven-time national champion recently joined SEC Network's "Marty & McGee" and revealed the origin of the Saban strut.

"When I was growing up in West Virginia there was three things that we could do," said Saban. "We went to the river, there was a bridge off of every railroad tussle. There was one movie theatre and it showed the same movie for a month and every other Saturday they took the firetrucks out of the fire department and we had a dance. So if you couldn't dance, you couldn't get a date. I learned early this is the way of the world. Not singing, dancing."

The 71-year old coach had hip-replacement surgery in the summer of 2019 but returned to work two-days later. He's as active as ever on the Alabama practice field and cameras still catch the king of college football dancing in his home on recruiting visits.
