The term "living legend" gets thrown around a lot, but when it comes to Nick Saban, it fits like a glove. The post Pat McAfee Honors Nick Saban With Perfect Surprise After College Football Hall of Fame Announcement on GameDay appeared first on EssentiallySports.

One year to the day of retiring his post from Alabama football, coach Nick Saban was announced as the newest inductee of the College Football Hall of Fame. Saban was named as the first inductee of the 2025 College Football Hall of Fame class during ESPN's "College GameDay" before the College Football Playoff semifinal between Ohio State and Texas.

Saban was a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame and it was clearly only a matter of time before he got in. As Pat McAfee said in the clip above, Saban is widely regarded as the greatest coach in the history of college football and he has the accolades to show for it.
