Overview
- ESPN and Words + Pictures announced the docuseries on Thursday, August 27, 2026, and set a full streaming release of all six episodes on the ESPN App for October 8 with a weekly TV rollout through November 5.
- Producers were granted hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage from Saban’s Alabama tenure that was previously banned from leaving team facilities, giving an unusually intimate record of practices, locker-room talks and game-day preparation.
- The series frames Saban’s career around his signature “Process,” tracing his stops at Michigan State, LSU, the Miami Dolphins and his 17 seasons at Alabama to show how his methods evolved through success and setbacks.
- More than 70 interviewees appear, including Bill Belichick, Lane Kiffin, Kirby Smart, Tim Tebow, Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa, and the project features new, extensive interviews with Nick Saban and his wife, Miss Terry Saban.
- Directed by Russell Dinallo and produced by Words + Pictures with Tom Rinaldi and Gabe Honig as showrunner, the series is positioned as a leadership and career portrait that could reshape public understanding of Saban’s coaching style and personal life.
