Widely considered one of the greatest coaches of all time, Saban has led his teams to win seven national titles ― the most in college football history ― and has won multiple national coaching honors, including National Coach of the Year twice. In this session, Gordon will explore some of the traits and secrets that have earned Saban the reputation as an outstanding tactician, leader, organizer and motivator, making him the most dominating coach in college football. 

Saban has served as the head football coach at the University of Alabama since 2007. Before that, he served as head coach of the National Football League’s Miami Dolphins, as well as Louisiana State University, Michigan State University, and the University of Toledo.

The foundation has distributed more than $9 million to these organizations.
