In a series of photos from the awards night, Kristen paid tribute to her dad with a heartfelt caption:

"An ICONIC evening. Congratulations to my dad for receiving the Icon Award at last night's ESPYS. Being able to be here with him to watch him take the stage was a dream. We are so proud of you, Sabes. This is just the beginning of your new dominant chapter. Roll Tide."

Though Nick Saban retired in January 2024, ending a legendary 17-year career with the Alabama Crimson Tide, Kristen remains a devoted supporter. She will undoubtedly be cheering on Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa in the 2024 season with full vigor.

Nick Saban knows what sports does to society

The 72-year-old legendary coach delivered an inspiring speech on Thursday night after winning the Icon Award at the 2024 ESPYs. Accepting the award, Saban humbly acknowledged the collective effort behind his success:

“Every time I look at this, I’m gonna see the faces of all the people who worked so hard to help us be successful.”

Thanking ESPN for the honor, Saban extended his gratitude to the countless individuals who contributed to his storied career and reminded everyone of the unique role of sports.

“I’d also like to say to everybody in this room, because there’s a lot of great athletes, we have a responsibility and obligation, because sports bring people together better than anything,” Saban said.

After 17 long years, college football fans won’t be seeing Saban on the gridiron sidelines calling the shots for the Crimson Tide. It will be interesting to see how Alabama’s football program fares in the 2024 season.
