There have been a few occasions this season where it really seems like Nick Saban would love nothing more than to walk into Alabama’s locker room and scream some sense into the Crimson Tide.
On ESPN’s College GameDay we’ve seen Saban snap into Coach Mode and deliver some of his trademark advice. Saturday before the Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn was no exception.
Coming off (another) brutal loss to Oklahoma, Alabama enters the regular season finale at 8-3 and with its playoff hopes on life support at best. And Saban seemingly couldn’t let the moment pass without delivering a message to his former players about what’s at stake today.
Lee Corso talks about a "big upset" coming from Auburn at Alabama.

McAfee was not wrong. It sure sounded like Saban was trying to coach the Crimson Tide there.
Then again, it’s Iron Bowl Day. You really can’t blame him.
