According to Al.com, Saban, who’s entering his ninth season as head coach at the University of Alabama, may name part of a highway after him in Marion County near his hometown of Monongah, W. Va., which is nine miles south of Fairmount.
Several Senators have “introduced a resolution” to name part of Route 19 the “Nicholas Lou ‘Nick’ Saban, Jr., Expressway.”
Saban was a quarterback at Monongah High School before he went on to play defensive back at Kent State. Saban then launched his prolific coaching career as a graduate assistant at Kent State in 1972.
Following stints as an assistant at Syracuse, West Virginia, Ohio State, Navy and with the Houston Oilers, Saban earned his first head-coaching gig at Toledo in 1990. He then bounced from the Cleveland Browns (as defensive coordinator) to Michigan State, LSU, the Miami Dolphins and finally to Alabama in 2007.
Saban has won four national championships – one at LSU (2003) and three at Alabama (2009, 2011, 2012).
