At the 2025 Sports Emmys, the coaching G.O.A.T. was named “Outstanding Personality and Emerging On-Air talent.” He beat out Ryan Firzpatrick, Richard Sherman, Jason Kelce, and Jay Wright for the honor.
Saban joined the College Gameday crew shortly after his retirement was announced in January at Alabama. College Gameday was also named the winner for “Outstanding Studio Show” for a weekly series.
