Nick Saban's Mother, Mary Pasko, Dies at 92

Mary Saban Pasko, the mother of Alabama football coach Nick Saban, passed away at 92. Born on July 29, 1932, in Michigan, she spent much of her life in West Virginia, where she supported her husband's contributions to local football and raised her two children after his passing in 1973. Known for her competitive spirit, she once interrupted a practice to boast about making a hole-in-one in golf, a feat her son had yet to achieve. Her legacy includes not only her children, Nick and Dene, but also her six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Tributes have poured in from the college football community, reflecting on her life and support for her son’s coaching career. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Nick's Kids Foundation.
