Alabama has had two previous winners of the Eddie Robinson Award, first with Gene Stallings in 1992 followed by Saban himself in 2008.

Saban has led the Crimson Tide to a 12-1 record, including a perfect 9-0 mark in Southeastern Conference play counting last week's SECCG win over Georgia.

The 71-year olf has guided his Crimson Tide to its 30^th SEC title with that win over then-No. 1/1/1 Georgia last weekend, snapping the Bulldogs’ SEC-record long 29-game winning streak. He's helped Alabama earn its NCAA-leading eighth berth in the College Football Playoff.

The Dynasty, folks, is NOT over.
