A resurfaced video from 2018 is making waves as Alabama fans, and even Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristen Saban Setas, share the footage of the retired coach boogieboarding. The video, which captures a lighter side of the seven-time national championship coach, has gained attention on social media.
In response to the shares, Kristen Saban Setas commented on Instagram, describing her father as “the moment.” She also confirmed on Twitter that the video is from 2018 and clarified that the laughter in the background is not hers.
The video provides a rare glimpse of Saban, known for his intense coaching demeanor, enjoying a more leisurely activity. After 17 seasons directing the Alabama football team, the footage adds a playful touch to Saban’s legacy.

Earlier in the week, Setas shared how she learned about her father’s retirement. Despite receiving a heads-up from her mother, Miss Terry, Setas admitted that the realization of Saban’s retirement still came as a surprise.
Nick Saban, with six national titles during his tenure at Alabama and one with LSU in 2003, left an indelible mark on college football. His Tide teams held the No. 1 ranking in the AP poll for 15 consecutive seasons, surpassing the previous record of seven held by Miami.
