You have to hand it to Nick Saban. The man knows how to book guest speakers.

Less than a week after Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. spoke to the Crimson Tide, the Alabama head coach had former ESPN personality Sage Steele visit Tuscaloosa.

Alabama football’s social media account posted photos from Steele’s visit.

“What is your Why? Thank you, Sage Steele for sharing your ‘Why’ with Alabama football,” the tweet said.

Steele, the former ESPN “SportsCenter” anchor, has made headlines recently. She appeared on SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” days after settling her lawsuit with the network last week for a revealing discussion with the late Barbara Walters as a guest on “The View” in 2014. Walters took issue with Steele referring to herself as biracial instead of “Black.”

According to reports, when Steele related that experience on a podcast in 2021 — and talked of being forced to get the COVID vaccine to keep her job — ESPN took her off the air.

Steele is the latest in an impressive list of guest speakers the Tide has had this summer. In addition to Griffey, Alabama has welcomed Michael Strahan and Pete Rose.
