Nick Saban won seven titles during his college football coaching career from 1990-23, but following the 2023 season, he opted to retire from coaching. The former LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide head coach has since transitioned into a media role for ESPN, joining the beloved pregame show “ College GameDay .”

To McAlhany, “College GameDay” is another opportunity to show off what he’s been wearing to Alabama football games for years: a red blazer covered in Alabama logos and a houndstooth hat, a’la Bryant, along with a red tie and six Crimson Tide replica championship rings, three on each finger as a “good representation of Alabama as a program.”
