Nick Saban’s daughter-in-law Samira Saban shares wholesome family pictures from “magical day” at Disneyland ft. Miss Terry, Kristen Saban

Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide are gearing up for the College Football Playoff, which is just days away. But the legendary head coach took some time out to be with his family. They went to Disneyland, where, according to those present, the family had a magical time.

Coach Saban’s daughter-in-law, Samira, took to Instagram to share some snippets of the family outing. Saban's wife Terry and daughter Kristen along with Nicholas, Samira’s husband, were also present in the photos.

“Today was magical,” Samira wrote in the caption.

While the Saban family had a fun experience in Anaheim, the same can't be said for the journey to California, at least for Kristen. She shared a photo of herself in a Detroit Lions cap while taking a flight to Los Angeles. According to her, she ripped her Alabama luggage tags after spotting that her flight was full of Michigan Wolverines fans.

Nick Saban and Alabama are ready for Michigan

Alabama did not start the 2023 season well. They looked everything but settled after parting ways with longtime quarterback Bryce Young, who took a step up to the NFL earlier this year. He was replaced by Jalen Milroe, who took some time to get acquainted with the offense. But once he did, the tide kept rolling.

Alabama finished the regular season with just one defeat and an 11-1 overall record. They then took down the formidable Georgia Bulldogs, the two-time defending national champions. That earned Nick Saban's boys a place in the College Football Playoff.

The Tide will take on No. 1 Michigan in the Rose Bowl, which is hosting the playoff semi-final this season. The Wolverines are unbeaten coming into the game but Alabama has already defeated a No. 1 team this year. Can they do it again?
