The fact you have traced the lineage of your coach is spooky. Most of Europe is overwhelmingly Catholic. The new world exists mostly because people wanted to chose the way they worship hence people breaking away from Catholicism. Saban being born in West Virginia, on the East Coast, has much more to do with him being Catholic than being Croatian does.
I just googled. Early results are split between Old French and Sephardic Jewish etymology for the name, and the two have absolutely nothing in common. They're not even remotely close on the language trees. So I guess Croatian is as good a possibility as any.

You could have just googled Nick Saban and saved yourself the trouble
