Someone is probably getting a lecture this morning: “You had one job!”
The College Football Playoff media day is going on in downtown Phoenix on Saturday.
There are microphones set up for several key Alabama players, in addition to head coach Nick Saban.
Something seems a little bit off on the sign placed above Crimson Tide QB Jake Coker’s podium:

There are lots of players that you could probably get away with messing up a name and hardly anyone would notice, but the starting quarterback for the Crimson Tide?
Sadly, the life of “Jay” Coker was short-lived:
