‘Madam. Terry’ Saban, Guest Voter on College Gameday, Says: ‘I Think I’ll Beat Nick’

College football fans will get a double dose of Saban on Saturday.

ESPN announced Friday that Terry Saban, the wife of legendary former Alabama coach and current “College Gameday” analyst Nick Saban, will be the guest selector when the pregame road show comes to Tuscaloosa on Saturday.

“Hello Alabama fans, it’s Ms. Terry,” she said in a video. “As you know, College Gameday is coming to Tuscaloosa this Saturday for the Georgia-Alabama game and I’m excited to be the guest selector. So we need all Crimson Tide fans to come out to Denny Chimes on Saturday morning. I’ve already been working on my picks and I think I’ll beat Nick, see you there.

Nick Saban, who spent 28 years as a college head coach at Toledo (1990), Michigan State (1995-99), LSU (2000-04) and Alabama (2007-23) and won seven national titles, is one of the most recognizable and powerful figures in college football history.

But he has often seen his wife as the real boss of the family and his ultimate source of motivation. She is a beloved figure among Crimson Tide fans, players and the community at large.

Alabama made sure to mention Ms. Terry when Saban retired in January.

“Coach Saban and Ms. Terry have touched countless lives in our community and the state of Alabama with the work they have done through the Nick’s Kids Foundation,” said Greg Byrne, Alabama director of athletics.

“While his time as our coach may have come to an end, his legacy will live on forever. What an honor it has been for us to have a front row seat to one of the best to ever do it. A truly remarkable career for Coach Saban.”

Alabama President Stuart R. Bell called Ms. Terry a “great ambassador” for the University of Alabama who has left an “indelible legacy.”

Sabans Nick’s Kids Foundation distributed more than $12 million to students, teachers and children’s causes at more than 150 charities. The Sabans have been married for more than 50 years.

Kickoff between No. 2 Georgia and No. 4 Alabama is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The match can be seen on ABC.
