Okay, so I was chilling on the couch the other day, watching some college football highlights, and Nick Saban popped up. And I’m like, “Wait a minute… has his hair ALWAYS been that dark?” I mean, the guy’s gotta be pushing 70, right? So, I started this little investigation, a deep dive, if you will, into the mystery of Nick Saban’s hair.
My Deep Dive Process
First, I jumped on Google. Just typed in “Nick Saban hair color.” You know, keeping it simple. I scrolled through a bunch of articles, mostly gossip stuff and fan forums. Nothing concrete, just a lot of speculation. Some people were saying, “Yeah, he definitely dyes it!” Others were like, “Nah, it’s just good genes.” The internet, am I right?
Then, I decided to get a bit more… methodical. I went to YouTube and started watching old press conferences and interviews with Saban, going back years. I mean, years. I felt like a detective in some cheesy movie, squinting at the screen, trying to spot the moment he supposedly went from gray to… not-gray.
- Watched 2008 interviews – Hair looked a bit lighter, maybe some gray at the temples? Hard to tell with the old footage.
- Compared to 2015 interviews – Definitely darker, but was it just the lighting? Different cameras? My imagination?
- Checked out recent 2023 footage – Still dark. Consistently dark. Suspiciously dark?
I even tried to find photos – high-resolution ones, where I could zoom in like a crazy person. I was looking for roots, people! Evidence! But honestly, the man is always wearing a hat or visor outdoors, making it super tough to get a good look at his hairline.
My conclusion, after hours of “research” (and probably too much caffeine), is… inconclusive. I mean, it looks like he colors his hair. It’s just so consistently dark, with no real signs of gray. But there’s no smoking gun, no confession from Saban himself, no leaked photos from his barber.
I did not find any solid evidence that he admitted it, or somenoe said yes he did it.
So, the mystery remains. Does Nick Saban color his hair? Probably. But until he tells us himself, or we catch him with a bottle of Just For Men, we’ll just have to keep guessing. It’s one of those great unsolved mysteries of the college football world.
