Speculation not a place for an encyclopedia!

"Nick may be a distant cousin of the late Lou Saban, a former NFL player and coach, and one time President of the New York Yankees.[34]"

He MAY?? be? Either he is or he isn't. Until it is determined one way or the other this line has no place in this article, whether it has a source or not.

Correct W-L record

Saban's official record is 265-65-1 (He would have 270 wins if not reduced for vacating wins in 2007 due to the textbook loan saga that he inherited). <
