How old are some of you that are so quick and willing to rip a man's name off the stadium, one that's been there 100 years?
How old are you to remember George Denny? He got to Alabama in 1912 and left it in 1937. The man passed away during the Eisenhower administration. As someone who is well-versed in the history and tradition of the football program, I know what Denny did for the school. However, look at what Saban did for the school AND the sport. His tenure at Alabama dramatically changed both.

Fine something else to put his name on.
Like what? There isn't anything else. How often does someone refer to Pat Dye Field when there is a game played in Jordan-Hare Stadium?

There's already a statue of him. I don't see why it's so important to rename anything after him to be honest. They could leave things exactly as they are and it's not going to reduce how worshipped and remembered he is.

Easy: Saban Arena. Build it.
It doesn't have to have a basketball coach's name on it. Nevill is named after an Auburn booster.
