Saban Unamused By Gillis During College Gameday Appearance
Comedian Shane Gillis was a guest on the show this weekend and decided to have some fun with College Gameday host, Nick Saban.
Gillis teased Saban, over the amass of accolades that he accrued during his time as the Alabama Crimson Tide head coach, accusing him of being a "cheater."
Saban was clearly unamused by Gillis, but Gillis did not stop with his antics and started poking fun at Saban's cap, calling him "Alabama Jones," a reference to the famed movie character "Indiana Jones."
Fans weighed in with their reactions on social media.
"Boy, if that camera had not been rolling Nick Saban would've made Shane Gillis cry," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"You can joke around about a lot of things, but not about a man's integrity," another user added.
Alabama Legend Comes to Ryan Day's Defense
The Ohio Buckeyes are hoping to add yet another title to their crowded trophy case. But their road to another title won't be easy. Just qualifying for the College Football Playoff was a testament to their toughness. Their final six games of the regular season were against FBS opponents and three of those schools are ranked in the top 20.
But even with their tough schedule, some Ohio State Fans remain unsatisfied with the university, particularly their head coach Ryan Day. But during his appearance on College Gameday this weekend, Saban, who has been subject to his fair share of coaching criticism, implored fans to lay off of day.
"They have an opportunity to win the national championship. Everybody oughta be supporting the hell outta them so they have the best opportunity to do it and quit all this negative bull****," Saban said.
"Every coach has to define how he wants to do it and I have a lot of respect for Ryan Day and how he's tried to do it. For me, I always wanted to get every player in the organization to reach his full potential. So it wasn't so much about the outcome. It was about what you had to do to make everyone better."
