Kirby Smart and Nick Saban Team Up to Aid Texas Flood Victims Kirby Smart and Nick Saban joined forces to deliver relief supplies to flood-affected communities in Texas. Standing by a truck packed with aid, Kirby said, “These folks need us-homes gone, families torn apart. We’ve got to help.” Saban agreed, adding, “Let’s hit Kerrville, hand out food, water, and maybe lift some spirits too.” Their efforts highlight their commitment to making a difference beyond football.

I couldn’t find any credible reports of Kirby Smart or Nick Saban teaming up to deliver flood relief to Kerrville or other parts of Texas. That specific story appears unverified and likely false.

That said, the July 2025 Central Texas floods were devastating—and many prominent organizations have indeed mobilized to help affected communities. Here’s the actual picture of the relief efforts:

• Major donations from Texas-based businesses:
  • H‑E‑B contributed $5 million and sent convoys of supply trucks to Central Texas  .
  • Whataburger, Kendra Scott, James Avery, and Spectrum have been providing food, proceeds from sales, and connectivity aid to Kerrville and other hard-hit areas  .
• Sports teams and leagues stepping in:
  • Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, and the NFL Foundation donated a combined $1.5 million  .
  • Houston Astros matched with a $1 million contribution, and NBA teams (Rockets, Spurs, Mavericks) plus the NBA Players Association pooled over $2 million  .
• Nonprofits and other responders:
  • Organizations like San Antonio Food Bank, Texans on Mission, Operation BBQ Relief, World Central Kitchen, Society of Texas Search & Rescue (TEXSAR), and more are supplying food, hygiene kits, search & rescue teams, and emergency housing  .
• Government & broader volunteer efforts:
  • Over 440 people have been rescued and 2,000+ volunteers joined search and recovery operations in Kerr County as of July 8–12, 2025  .

✅ Takeaway

• The story about Smart and Saban is unsubstantiated—likely a social media misattribution.
• But relief efforts are very real and substantial—multiple organizations, teams, and non-profits are actively supporting Texas communities with funds, supplies, rescue operations, and ongoing recovery initiatives.

If you’re interested in ways to help, here are some reliable options:

• Donate to vetted funds like the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country’s Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, Salvation Army, or TEXSAR  .
• Volunteer through local channels—do not self-deploy, as uncoordinated volunteers can hinder operations  .
• Support nonprofits like Operation BBQ Relief, World Central Kitchen, Texans on Mission, and others serving food, shelter, and care  .
