Add another line to the future College Football Hall of Famer’s burgeoning résumé.
Fortune Magazine Thursday released its annual list of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders. Checking in at No. 12, ahead of the likes of Apple CEO (and Auburn alum) Tim Cook (No. 14), Oprah Winfrey (No. 27) and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern (No. 29)? Alabama Crimson Tide head football coach Nick Saban. He’s the only individual on the list with direct ties to college football.
Below is a portion of the magazine’s write-up on the coach:

The only other individuals from the sports world who made the list tennis player Serena Williams (No. 15) and “The Gymnasts and Their Allies” (No. 22), with the latter connected to the scandal surrounding disgraced former professor at Michigan State’s College of Osteopathic Medicine and sports physician for both the Spartans and USA Gymnastics Larry Nassar.
