'Coach Saban (why do they always call him that?


Because it's a sign of respect. Like "sir", "ma'am", "Dr.", etc. Most older Alabama fans will refer to any current Alabama head coach or assistant, as "Coach...". And certainly use it when referring to a popular former coach. Coach Stallings, Coach Bryant, etc.
