University of Alabama head football coach Nick Saban sits down with David FEHERTY for a wide-ranging interview on golf and football - both college and NFL - and the importance of having a work / family balance on a new episode of Feherty, Golf Channel's primetime interview series, airing Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 9 p.m. ET.
Filmed this summer at Saban's vacation home at Lake Burton in the North Georgia mountains, Saban opens up to
FEHERTY on his football coaching philosophy and how he applies life lessons learned from playing the game of golf to molding and shaping his student athletes both on and off the field. They also discuss the influence of Saban's father, his early career aspiration to be a car dealer, the lessons learned from Bill Belichick and his difficult two seasons as coach of the Miami Dolphins. Away from the interview,
FEHERTY coaches "The Coach" on the golf course and spends some relaxing time with Saban on his boat and at his Lake Burton summer house.
Emmy-nominated David Feherty, described as "a cross between Oprah Winfrey and Johnny Carson" by The New York Times as host of Golf Channel's hit, original series, Feherty, conducts interviews both heartfelt and irreverent - a trademark of one of television's most irrepressible personalities. Earning critical acclaim for his refreshing interviewing style, the self-deprecating
FEHERTY employs his laid back approach when sitting down with the most recognized names in entertainment, politics and sports to bring out laughs and an often seldom seen emotional side from his guests. He also makes a habit of engaging in his guests' favorite places and activities to help capture the location of each episode.
Feherty originally debuted in June 2011 as the most-watched original series in
Golf Channel history. Emmy-nominated in 2014 for Outstanding Sports Personality,
FEHERTY has gone one-on-one with celebrities across golf, sports and entertainment, including former President Bill Clinton, basketball Hall-of-Famers Bill Russell and Charles Barkley, sportscasters Al Michaels and Dan Patrick, actors Don Cheadle and Samuel L. Jackson, and golfers Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino and Michelle Wie.
