Nick Saban appeared on College GameDay on Saturday morning.
No, the Alabama coach didn’t make the trek to Cincinnati, where the popular ESPN pregame show was held, but he did appear via video ahead of Saturday night’s showdown against LSU.
Saban was heartily booed during his interview, prompting analyst Kirk Herbstreit to deliver a great quote:
“Coach, you know you are the king even when the Group of 5 teams don’t like you. You the man. Congratulations.”@KirkHerbstreit to Nick Saban on @CollegeGameDay pic.twitter.com/G1yHdr6Hjm
