During a segment on Saturday’s latest SEC Network’s Marty & McGee, hosts Marty Smith and Ryan McGee decided to give guest Nick Saban a very… interesting award.
Highlighting all the times Saban has said “aight” during his press conferences, the show hosts gave a very confused Saban the “2022 Aight Award” for all the times he’s said that word.
In the clip, Saban looked as enthused to be watching a montage of him saying “aight” as a hungry person showing up to a Friendsgiving celebration just as somebody steals the last bite of turkey.
You could tell how befuddled Saban was to receive such a, uh, prestigious honor.

Saban took the award in stride with a laugh, but his uncomfortable fidgeting through that segment was shared with all who watched.
After all, his Crimson Tide had the Iron Bowl on the slate against Auburn that afternoon. It likely added to the “why on Earth am I doing this right now?” energy Saban exudes in the very “aight” clip.
