So this story about Saban recollecting how he wanted to date the woman who would end up being his wife several years later back in middle school is classic Saban.
Saban starts out by saying he wanted to date Terry when they were in middle school but she was dating some guy named Mickey Schaefer. She went to a bigger school and he was working at a full-service gas station but nevertheless, he didn’t give up his pursuit of trying to date the apple of his eye.
The story turns to football when Saban says his small AA school always beat the AAA school she attended and she slowly started to get her attention.
Fast forward several years later and Saban and his wife who is affectionately known in college football circles as Miss. Terry drove past a gas station owned by Schaffer, which sets up the punch line in Saban’s story. But it’s Miss. Terry coming out as the big winner with the best line to make the story come full circle.
Saban says if Terry stayed with her high school boyfriend that’s where she would have ended up. Mrs. Terry says, not so fast, and says if she married him, he’d be the head coach at Alabama.
