Nick Saban is one of the most intimidating figures in collegiate athletics. The legendary coach is known for being serious, shouting at players and coaches, and throwing headsets. Recently, a picture of Saban smiling lit X, formerly known as Twitter, on fire.
College Football fans from across the country chimed in to give their take on ‘Smiling Saban.’
Many perceived it to be a threat. Saban is happy, which means Alabama must be returning to the championship-quality football that’s expected of the Crimson Tide.
There were plenty of hilarious comments being made about the picture, which was originally shared to X by Nick Kelly of the Tuscaloosa News at the first press conference of fall practice.
