Absolutely…that’s why I’ve always said Saban’s value transcended football…anyone who went to the games throughout his career, you saw the transformation of not only the University, but the entire town of Tuscaloosa and like you said the entire state.
Oh, bull hockey! mention the 7 opinion polls and then support those opinions with on the field stats. Start out with wins, but then discuss wins against 11 win teams. 18-18 against P5 teams. Great and 500 are mutually exclusive.
Im a huge DAWG fan and have nothing but mad respect for coach Saban. You learn so much from him when he is talking; about life and football. Wonderful to see Ben being happy and rolling around in the grass!
Thank u coach Saban for coming to Tuscaloosa we all miss you on the sidelines but we also have a great coach in kalan dabore and I'm happy he is here ROLL TIDE 🐘
Being a fan of both Kirk and Ben, it was tough to see and feel the pain Kirk was experiencing. And it was a great addition to the show. I was reminded of past pet friends gone but remembered for the absolute joy they brought me and others and I was thankful for the pleasure this story brought to what is normally a great program leading up to the fun of a day of college football. Sadly, we couldn't simply have this time and it's joy without McAfee leading the crowd in an unforgivable, lewd chant that should never be a part of any activity, much less one with families and children. And he repeated the offense. We should not have to put up with that in order to see an otherwise good show. More importantly, Love and warmest wishes to Kirk and his family.
I love how raw and informal this is - I think it brings out Coach in a different light for some who may not see him on a regular basis. Plus - Ben is just awesome.
This man is the reason I became an Alabama fan. Always respected them when Bear was there but now it’s Roll Tide because of Coach Saban. What a Program and School
it's been said by a lot of people, a lot of times, but i have the upmost respect for Coach Saban! happy to see he's enjoying this next chapter of his life as a retired Coach talking ball, a true living legend.
After his effort to help tuscaloosa and the state of alabama after the tornadoes in 2011 he earned a place in every citizen of alabamas heart. Wonderful man
@mas5867 you have no idea what you are talking about do you? Lol it's funny when ppl think they know what they are talking about when they weren't even their.
@@bentinbama1 stay on task. Again, what AL coach would not have been as instrumental in helping as Saban was. Lol. Somehow, I know this conversation will end here.
I am from Canada but have or had family in the US. I watch College Gameday since I cannot remember when lol must be my old age over 50 lol My daughter and son love football and started watching it just to try and see Ben Having a miniature poodle who is turning 4 today abd also has health issues, this really hit home for me and I cried for Ben and Kirk and his whole family. Ben has not only touched a nation, he has touched a world over and he has taught this old man that there are more important things in the world than who wins or who loses and more important things than sports like family and yes dogs are family, all they want is to be with you no matter if you ate happy or sad, all they want is to be next to you and comfort you and give you all their love. We humans should learn from them and if we were just 50% like them,half the worlds issues and problems would be gone as we would see what truly is important in life. God you just got received another one of your beautiful creations, please keep Ben safe. RIP Ben and thank you for adding to this old man's life and thank you Kirk also.
I always had tons of respect and love for Coach Saban but hearing how he & Miss Terry lost 2 dogs back/back & his reaction to it, Coach is one of the best things we got going. Hey Coach, Igor says give that dog you got now an extra treat,ok. And Ben- Igor loves you too buddy.🐕🏈♥️
I felt the same way about not being part of a team, when I retired from the Army. After a while you get use to it and adapt to more of a normal way of life. I will admit every once in a while, I miss it. Thank coach, for everything you have done for the university, the state of Alabama, the game of college football, for the players, and for every fan that has ever been a part of the Crimson Tide family. ROLLTIDE!!!
Man I love Saban, I hate bama, love Saban. He's a man's man in today's world. Old values, He's knows what money and college football now is doing to this boys, and also their families. To give a 18 yr old a million to play college, forget the 4 yr degree, life changing education. People need to listen to his wisdom.
I'm 66 years old. years ago I got rained out on a Hwy construction job. took a job driving taxi in Nevada. met retired folks who gave me good advice and 'what they'd do if they did it over again' the hookers in the legal cat houses had some good advice too
This was a great informal interview in a chat format 👍🏻👍🏻 Coach Saban is the best interview in any sport or other environment. I’m so happy as a fan that he’s happy & enjoying this first year of retirement and hope he has decades more. Great man!
Im so sorry for your loss Kirk. Ben was royalty. You gave him a wonderful life. I went through grieving as you are now after losing my world, my joy, my husky/wolf after 13 wonderful years. There will always be a hole in my heart after losing him 7 yrs ago. Ben has the same impact with you & I wish you peace during your very difficult time right now. I truly hope the Rainbow Bridge is the real deal & one day we'll reunite with our best friend again 🙏🐾
Also, as a Tennessee fan- I gotta say I’m glad he is getting to spend more time with family. But you just gotta respect the heck out of Saban, he is just a great man- on & off the field.
A VOL fan here that has always had so much respect for Coach Saban except on the 3rd Saturday in October each year of course. No matter who you pull for in college one just has to admire greatness no matter where they play or coach. Coach Saban you will be missed in the years ahead.
I grew up on ESPN. With some of their struggles I was about to give up on ESPN. Ben the Dog and this sincerity has gave me hope. I'm also a Notre Dame fan but but I did enjoy seeing the Tide Roll (Roll Tide) I just love sports. I also love my dog. Look up Richard Pryor and his Doberman's.
LSU fan here. Losing Saban ultimately added to the Bama rivalry. Those first ten years were bitter, though. In time, the respect and admiration for what he created at Bama overcame the bitterness. He reminded me of Skip Bertman . What Skip accomplished at LSU in baseball was amazing. Skip was not only good for LSU. He was good for the SEC and the sport overall. A rising tide lifts all boats. Skip always talked about, "the system " Saban always talked about " the process " . Both were men of great vision.
❤️🤍What a Great Day to be back in Sweet Home Alabama! From #gameday with Miss Terry~ to one heck of a football game~ to taking a walk with #thegoat … Roll Tide Roll! What a fight What a GAME! #DeBearDeGoatDeBoer
@@mas5867hey shithead, I'd spend every penny I've ever made to spend just 1 more minute w/any of my dogs that have died. Just 1 extra fucking minute to give them 1 more hug. Lost 1 dog to lymphoma, was healthy and out of the blue gets diagnosed and they tell me he'll be dead in a month. Dogs are the best thing about life. It sure AF ain't idiot people like you.
@@poolhall9632Nah kids got soft these day. Nick used to yell at Julio Jones and Derrick Henry at practice. That’s called being discipline. You probably have never played sports in your life. We can tell
R.I.P. Ben 🙏🏾
Ben came into all of our hearts. Thank you, Kirk for sharing him with us. We love you, Ben!!! Condolences to Kirk and the Herbstreit family . ❤
Ben was a national treasure. Thanks for exposing us to his vitality and spirit.
Ben will be forever. Hang in there Kirk. You are not alone
The entire trajectory of the entire state of alabama has been forever changed by Nick Saban.
Amen!
And we thank him for it. Especially offering in state talent opportunities
Absolutely…that’s why I’ve always said Saban’s value transcended football…anyone who went to the games throughout his career, you saw the transformation of not only the University, but the entire town of Tuscaloosa and like you said the entire state.

The university should have another statue cast. One where Saban is walking on water.
Losing 2 dogs that close together would be tough. Saban is the GOAT and he has really elevated the gameday program.
I love seeing Coach get to enjoy life. He earned it 10x over.
Well said! RTR!!
We will never forget you Ben. Glad to have gone on these walks with you. RIP Good Boy ❤
I’m sorry to hear about your loss Kirk ❤
We will never forget Ben. He will always live on in all of our heats.
Thanks for sharing Ben with us Kirk! We know how much he meant to you, your family, and your gameday family!
Im a huge DAWG fan and have nothing but mad respect for coach Saban. You learn so much from him when he is talking; about life and football. Wonderful to see Ben being happy and rolling around in the grass!
Love you Ben!! So sorry for your loss Kirk
We are gonna miss you Ben I hope you get a new pup and continue this style of interview
Thank u coach Saban for coming to Tuscaloosa we all miss you on the sidelines but we also have a great coach in kalan dabore and I'm happy he is here ROLL TIDE 🐘
i hated bama as a duck fan but had total respect for that program....its what every team was trying to be...GO DUCKS...
Who’s “Kalan” “Dabore”
I’m sure Saban is reading your comments right about now.
He can’t hear you
@@davidwurm3308 maybe not but you are 🐘
I miss coach Saban alot, but it's wonderful to see him happy and enjoying life! He deserves it!
So excited gonna stay up for 9 straight hours
Terrific interview! Appreciate the candor from Coach. Kirk is above the fold - very few with him at that level.
3:55 This shot is GOLD! I really like this and I think I see where they were going with this whole idea.

Good to See Ben having a great life!!

Saban is such a legend, could listen to him all day, always gold nuggets of insight.
RIP Ben. Condolences to the Herbstreits. 😢
Sorry for your loss
Dawg fan and seeing Saban on ESPN. Let's me see why players liked him so much. Great guy and the GOAT! Go Dawgs

Just stumbled across these episodes. Great idea, Kirk! Love the interviews!
Ben is loving life and that cooler weather
Learned a lot from Nick Saban! Trust "the Process".. Discipline, Focus, Every Play.
@@curtisdavis8594 trust the process, entered the CFP 5 times ranked #1 and failed 80% of the time. Nobody was close to that bad.
Loved Ben in the background! Keep having him in these kinds of videos please!
RIP Ben🙏

Thank you for this, Kirk! You are the ultimate professional. Saban is the 🐐. Ben is a star. I love how he always calls her Mrs. Terry.

One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Genius format. I like seeing this side of highly successful people.

The GOAT! Great human being and so is Kirk! Thanks for this walk!
Lmao imagine getting cut off in traffic by Nick Saban. For some reason I cant picture him driving his own car.
RIP Ben...

I love you Coach
And coach loves you too!! He really, weally does!

Roll Tide! You deserve everything coach!!!
The no-nonsense response of "get another dog" just solidifies why I, a TN alumni, love Nick Saban.
Benny is a baby bear!!! Thank you for sharing him❤
I love these episodes Kirk! So cool
This is a great segment
This is the content I need in my life. More of Ben please 😊
two GOATs on a walk. herbie is great too. awesome interview.

It breaks my heart we won’t get anymore walks with Ben. Fuck I’m so sorry Kirk.
Herb you are about to print money for yourself when this blows up. Great channel i am going to watch every week
I grew up on ESPN. With some of their struggles I was about to give up on ESPN. Ben the Dog and this sincerity has gave me hope. I'm also a Notre Dame fan but but I did enjoy seeing the Tide Roll (Roll Tide) I just love sports. I also love my dog. Look up Richard Pryor and his Doberman's.
Thank you Coach Saban. The greatest leader of all time!
This may be the best channel on RUclips
He’s the best. There is no one close at this point. ❤🐘❤️
Love this podcast! More Ben!

Listen they don't rebuild if it's not worth it. They take the check and go where it is worth it. Quit being a hater
Best wishes to Ben, Kirk you are a lucky companion. 🤩
Great interview!
❤to hear how dogs have impacted folks lives. I grew up with a Doberman.❤
Enjoyed this!
Great win Saturday boys , time to move forward RTR

He's one of the old plantation owners.
He lost control - so he quit.

Even though I Don't like Alabama i respect and admire nick Saban I wish more coaches or celebrities would be honest
Just walking and talking is so under-rated
I would love to meet Saban one day- he inspired me as a successful sales leader
