Nick Saban is notoriously serious when it comes to football, but Alabama s spring scrimmage brought out a different side of the head coach.
The 69-year-old, who was mic d during the A-Day game, trolled his offense after a failed trick play. Junior wide receiver Slade Bolden, a former high school quarterback, faced pressure up the middle and released an ugly pass that fell short of his intended target.
“Slade, I can throw it behind my back better than that,” Saban said. “I can flip it behind my back …”
To add more chaos within Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday, Saban was nearly trampled during an interception in front of 47,218 fans. This marks the most fans at a sporting event in the U.S. since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
