Scarbinsky On The Chizik-Saban Parallel

Saban can mount a small pony.

Da Skreets say Saban is at least 5'10 since he is as tall as Arenas.

I've always figured he's not as short as people say....but that's no fun. 

Would the picture below be much fun unless we pretended he's 5' 4"?

[jadennis]

Seriously, anyone know how tall he actually is?

The intrawebs have this to say:

From an Arkansas board - "standing next to him today, I'd say 5-7".

From WikiAnswers - "My brother is 5'9" and he said he was looking down on Nick. He guessed him to be no taller than 5' 6" without shoes".

From WikiAnswers - "My son is 5' 11' in cleats. He had his picture made (in flip-flops), at football camp, and Saban is at least an inch taller than my son".

From Sports Comet - "he is 6 feet tall....i kno becuz i stood next to him and i was his exact height and i'm 6 feet tall".

From Terrance Cody - "Man, this guy’s a midget".

Serious, I'd say the 5'7 mark is most likely the accurate one. I don't think he's 5-10, 5-11 but I don't think he's 5'4 either.

Well then it's decided, Saban is 5' 5".            Oh and keep the avatar.

NEXT!
