Alabama coach Nick Saban had a small part in the popular movie “The Blind Side,” which chronicled the life of former Ole Miss OL Michael Oher.

However, shooting his scene proved to be a bit awkward, as he was actually the coach of LSU back when Oher was being recruited.

During his radio show on Thursday night, Saban explained how he altered the script of the movie a little bit, from not wearing LSU clothes to rewriting his scene to be more accurate (via 247Sports):

“I didn’t want to be in the movie because I was the coach here, and I was the coach at LSU in the movie,” Saban said Thursday night, “so I thought the fans here would all get mad at me if I was the LSU coach in a movie. So I refused.

“And Fred Smith, who was a pretty powerful guy with FedEx and all that, produced the movie and talked me into doing it. I told him I’d do it but I’m not going to wear LSU clothes. He said ‘OK.’ Then the director comes in and gives me a script and says, ‘OK, here’s your lines. Here’s what we want you to say.’ I said, ‘Hey buddy, I was there. I did this.’

“I said, ‘Why can’t I just do what I did? I’ll just say what I said when I come to the front door, I’ll say what I said when I sat down and talked to the player, Michael, and the little boy that was there. I’ll just say it, and if you don’t like it, I’ll do your script.’

“So, I did it that way and he liked it, so I never did the script.”

Obviously, Oher chose Ole Miss, and the rest is history. He went on to become a first-round pick and won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens in 2013.

Saban is doing just fine for himself after missing out on the talented lineman, though, having won four of his five national championships since Oher decided to commit to Ole Miss.
