Auburn football fans, you have at least seven more years to watch Nick Saban roaming the sidelines for the Iron Bowl, meaning there are potentially four more years in the next eight that Tiger fans might get to see his perfect record up until that point go up in flames at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
That’s been the results of the past two matchups on the Plains, and in five and half months, that could be the case once again.
With that out of the way, Fly War Eagle congratulates Saban on his extension, which adds an extra three years to his current deal, keeping him in Tuscaloosa until February 2029.
At the same time, we had to point out some of the best reactions to the news from the Auburn football faithful:

Nick Saban signs a contract extension to keep him at Alabama through 2028. Not to outdone, Auburn extended their women’s equestrian coach through 2029.

8 more years of Saban maybe Auburn can do better than beating him every other year like the past 4 pic.twitter.com/RmG6DgZOD2

Disclaimer: Greg Williams has not gotten an Auburn Equestrian coaching contract matching the length of Saban’s.
Alabama is, of course, one of the greatest powers in American sports since the turn of the century. His recruiting dominance across the country–and particularly in the great state of Sweet Home Alabama–has been legendary as college football has grown to become one of this country’s most-watched and most celebrated past-time.
He also is 2-2 against Auburn football since 2017. War Eagle.
