The Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the Florida Gators on Saturday night to capture the SEC Championship. Winning this high-profile game secured another undefeated season for Nick Saban’s team and set them up for an interesting battle in the four-team College Football Playoffs. However, Saban did not watch Sunday’s College Football Playoffs Selection Show live due to previous obligations. He went to church.
“I go to church from 11-12, so they’re either gonna have to schedule it at a different time or I’m gonna find out after I get out of church,” Saban said during Saturday’s postgame interview. The fans heard his comments and responded on social media. Some applauded his decision to go to church, while others joked about the head coach “cussing” and then attending a service.

Love hearing all the hypocritical Saints calling out Saban for cussing.

He’s gotta go to church every Sunday with all that cussing he does on the sideline

“…and please give Brother Saban and the men in crimson and white the strength and courage to defeat the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day at 8:45 ET on ESPN. Roll Tide…er, Amen.”

Leaders will always drive the type of culture on the team! Church will always be a priority! Love it! 💯🙏🏾

I wish he would make a run in politics. He is what this country needs. Also he wouldn’t be coaching at Bama anymore.

Don’t worry coach. It’s a four hour show. Seriously.
