Nick Saban is in his first year as a member of College GameDay. The legendary coach ended one of the best coaching tenures of all time and has seamlessly transitioned into his new career.
Saban already has great chemistry with the GameDay crew, and the coach says something hilarious every weekend it seems. In Week 11, the crew was in Baton Rouge ahead of the Alabama-LSU game. Saban, of course, won championships as the head coach of both of these schools.
While talking about the raucous LSU crowd, Saban made a hilarious analogy.
“When we (Alabama) came in here when Tua (Tagovailoa) was quarterback, we went right down the field like s**t through a tin horn,” said the legendary coach. “We get down there in the student section, man, and we had four straight false starts.”

The hilarious analogy made the entire crew burst out in laughter. Saban, though, remained serious and kept explaining his story.
This is not the first time Saban has used the “S word” on TV. Just last weekend, the coach used the word after being presented with a platter of assorted breakfast foods. Saban hasn’t gotten used to filtering himself for TV, and that’s exactly why people enjoy his addition to the show.
Saban’s former teams will kick off from Tiger Stadium at 7:30 p.m. ET in what should be one of the best games of the weekend.
