Fans went nuts over photo of Nick Saban at Alabama-Georgia game

Nick Saban was reduced to a spectator Saturday during Alabama’s marquee matchup against Georgia. But he didn’t act like any of the other Crimson Tide supporters at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Alabama had a dominant first half against Georgia. The Crimson Tide pummeled their SEC rivals early, scoring the first four touchdowns to take a 28-0 lead.

But despite Alabama embarrassing Georgia early, Saban didn’t look at all excited. Fans couldn’t help but notice Saban looking downright bored when the ESPN broadcast showed him after Alabama scored its fourth touchdown.

Fans on X wondered what was going through Saban’s head in that moment. Was he feeling regret over his decision to retire? Was he annoyed that Jalen Milroe had never looked as good during their time together? Or perhaps Saban has just come to expect success so much that even a 28-0 lead doesn’t impress him?

The most likely explanation is that Saban has always been a coach who preaches to his team not to celebrate until the job is done. He wasn’t about to start jumping up and down, especially not until the game was over.

Despite how he looked at that time, the retired coach has at least had a few moments when he truly looked to be enjoying himself .
