College football legend and former Alabama coach Nick Saban now has a minority stake in the Nashville Predators along with his business partner Joe Agresti, the team announced this week.
What they're saying: "Coach [Saban] is one of the all-time greats in college football history and one of the winningest coaches in all of sports," former Gov. Bill Haslam, the franchise chairman and majority owner of the Preds, said in a statement.
"We are excited to have him join us in our pursuit of championships on the ice in Nashville."
Between the lines: Saban said working with a Nashville team has been a long-term goal.
"Although I am now retired as a coach, I still possess a competitive nature and a great passion for sports."
