You can call LSU head coach Nick Saban the complete package. Brought to Baton Rouge following the 1999 season to revive what many considered a sleeping giant, Saban has transformed the LSU football program into one that wins championships, while graduating players at the same time. Armed with a plan that gives his players a chance to be successful on the field as well as the classroom, Saban's impact on the program has been immediate and it's been powerful. In just two short years at LSU's head coach, Saban's on-field success has been unmatched as he has guided the Tigers to 18 victories, a pair of bowl wins, including one in a BCS game, and the 2001 Southeastern Conference title. Off the field, Saban has spearheaded a fundraising effort that has raised more than $15 million for a state-of-the-art academic center for student-athletes. The new LSU SABAN FILE Academic Center for Student-Athletes is all part of Saban's plan to give his players the best opportunity to best successful when they finish their football career. Full Name: Nick Lou Saban Saban didn't waste anytime making his impact felt as the he guided a team coming Born: Oct. 31, 1951 off back-to-back losing seasons to an 8-4 mark and a win over 15th-ranked Georgia Tech Birthplace: Fairmont, W.Va. in the Peach Bowl to rekindle the fire of a proud football tradition in Baton Rouge. Wife: Terry Constable of Fairmont, W.Va., Saban's influence on the Tigers went much further in 2001 as he led LSU to the Wedding Day: Dec. 18, 1971 school's first outright Southeastern Conference title since 1986 with a 31-20 win over Children: Nicholas and Kristen second-ranked Tennessee in the SEC title game and followed that win a 47-34 victory over Illinois in the Sugar Bowl, LSU's first New Year's Day Bowl win since 1968.

Teaching Def. Coordinator the players to trust and believe in each other has been a characteristic that Saban has 1988-89 Secondary Coach Oilers (NFL) branded on his squad. Saban preached to his team to play for 60 minutes, to become a 1990 Head Coach Toledo dominant team on every play of every game, and to not worry about what the score- 1991-94 Def.

Brought to Baton Rouge following the 1999 season to revive what many considered a sleeping giant, Saban has transformed the LSU football program into one that wins championships, while graduating players at the same time. Armed with a plan that gives his players a chance to be successful on the field as well as the classroom, Saban's impact on the program has been immediate and it's been powerful. In just two short years at LSU's head coach, Saban's on-field success has been unmatched as he has guided the Tigers to 18 victories, a pair of bowl wins, including one in a BCS game, and the 2001 Southeastern Conference title. Off the field, Saban has spearheaded a fundraising effort that has raised more than $15 million for a state-of-the-art academic center for student-athletes. The new LSU Academic Center for Student-Athletes is all part of Saban's plan to give his players the best opportunity to best successful when they finish their football career. DAVIS FILE Saban didn't waste anytime making his impact felt as the he guided a team coming off back-to-back losing seasons to an 8-4 mark and a win over 15th-ranked Georgia Tech Full Name: Nick Lou Saban in the Peach Bowl to rekindle the fire of a proud football tradition in Baton Rouge. Born: Oct. 31, 1951 Saban's influence on the Tigers went much further in 2001 as he led LSU to the Birthplace: Fairmont, W.Va. school's first outright Southeastern Conference title since 1986 with a 31-20 win over Wife: Terry Constable of Fairmont, W.Va., second-ranked Tennessee in the SEC title game and followed that win a 47-34 victory Wedding Day: Dec. 18, 1971 over Illinois in the Sugar Bowl, LSU's first New Year's Day Bowl win since 1968. Children: Nicholas and Kristen Beating Tennessee to win the league title is one thing, but the fashion in which Saban and the Tigers did so speaks volumes on the impact he has had on his squad.
