Comedian Joey Mulinaro hilariously parodies conversation between Nick Saban, Bill Belichick
Published:
Comedian Joey Mulinaro was at it again on Tuesday afternoon in the aftermath of Bill Belichick‘s much-anticipated debut as North Carolina head coach.
You might have heard that things didn’t go so well for Belichick on Monday night, as his Tar Heels were stomped pretty good by TCU in a 48-14 rout. Belichick won 6 Super Bowl titles as the head coach of the New England Patriots, and so his success was built in the NFL world.
This college thing is all new to Belichick, who literally has never held a college coaching job during his long, legendary career. So, Monday night was the first time he’s stood on a college football sideline as a coach, in any capacity, in any game. Nick Saban, you might have heard, wrote the book on success in college football coaching, winning 6 national championships at Alabama and another at LSU before he got to Tuscaloosa.
So, the 2 living coaching legends share the similarity of success at the highest level, but they differ in the locales — for Belichick, it’s the NFL. For Saban, it’s college. Now, Belichick is trying to carve out some of that success in college after all these decades as a coach, but TCU was having none of it, embarrassing North Carolina on its home field and on a standalone, Labor Day night feature game on ESPN.
That’s where Mulinaro comes in to this whole thing. The comedian has dabbled in a lot of hilarious college football banter in the past, and he didn’t miss this opportunity for a little phone call from Saban to Belichick to, you know, talk about what happened on Monday night.
Here is the joke fest, in all of its day-after glory:
Perhaps if and when Belichick’s Tar Heels win a game, Saban will pay Belichick another phone call, with a little different slant.
For now, we’re left with Mulinaro’s parody and the laughs that come with it.
