Nearly three years later, Ruggs' former coach, Nick Saban, has broken his silence on the matter. Saban remarked, "He had his friends that could have told him" not to drive, sparking mixed reactions from fans. While some argue that Ruggs' friends could have intervened, others emphasize personal accountability.
Saban, renowned for his coaching tenure at Alabama, retired in 2023 after an illustrious career marked by numerous successes. Despite the tragedy, there remains a glimmer of hope that Ruggs, currently serving a prison sentence of up to ten years, will learn from this harrowing experience.
