Nick Saban Is So Intimidating It Took His Daughter's Boyfriend A Month To Propose

If you were to poll every college football coach, player, and fan in the nation as to who is the coach that scares the shit out of them the most, every answer would be Nick Saban. He’s the devil. His demeanor shows no emotion. His face shows nothing but a cold, stoic, stare that would bring even Zeus to his knees. Needless to say, he’s pretty intimidating, which is probably why he puts out good team after good team.

That persona doesn’t just affect the football life, but also spills over into everyday dad life. His daughter, Kristen, recently went off the market, and it turns out that her boyfriend was so scared of Nicky that it took a good month to finally ask him for her hand in marriage.

Saban addressed it in a recent interview with Dan Patrick:

DP: How did he ask for her hand?

NS: It took him about a month. They told me that he was going to ask, and every time I’d see him, I tried to put us in a situation where he could ask, but he never did. Somebody finally had to beat it out of him.

Can you blame the guy? I’d be scared shitless too if Saban were my girlfriend’s father. He wants her home by 11? I’m dropping her off at 10:15 and no later, just to be sure. Asking a normal dude for his daughter’s hand in marriage is a scary situation as it is, asking the devil for his daughter’s hand in marriage sounds downright unbearable.

The greatest part of it all? Saban doesn’t even realize he’s intimidating. When asked about it, he had this to say:

No, I don’t realize that. I still feel like I’m a kid from West Virginia. It’s hard for me to understand why anyone would be intimidated.

Maybe he should watch some film on himself. He’ll understand why.

Dan also asked Nick what songs made him dance at the wedding, and Nick had a few songs he enjoyed.

“The Electric Slide” is one of my old favorites, so we were out there for that. I tried to learn the Wobble. That took a little more expertise, knowledge and experience.

I can expect many opposing stadiums to be blasting the “Electric Slide” and “Wobble” this season to try and get Saban to crack a smile and bust a move on the sidelines.

    Credit to Aj Walkin: Please take a moment to admire the great LeBron for the special talent he is. It never gets old looking at the King’s history. So many accomplishments Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan will never achieve:
    1.Only player in nba history to quit because of air conditioner
    2.Quit on his team the year after he promises a championship
    3.Dunked on by a high school kid then confiscates the tape
    4.Bail on the dunk contest 9 times
    5.Only able to win a ring with 2 superstars
    6.Play on same team as his moms boyfriend
    7.Average 1.8 pts in the 4th quarter of NBA finals.
    8.Lose not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 times in the Finals.
    9.Host a national televised TV show to leave his team
    10.Go 2 for 18 in an NBA playoff game.
    11.Get stuffed by a player under 6 feet (Nate Robinson)
    12.Flop every single game in the playoffs
    13.Choke 4 out of 5 finals games by dropping FG% by 18
    14.0 Rings if not for refs calling early fouls on Durant and Westbrook it threw them out of rhythm, made them play soft and sit for big parts of the game which changed the flow and momentum of the finals.
    15. Shoot a terrible percentage in an elimination game at 13-33 to match his finals record of all time.
    16. Calls himself the greatest in the world, only to lose the next game in his hometown.
    17. Insults the fans of the NBA and “their personal problems” because he lost in the NBA finals.
    18. Sits on the floor and whines after a non-call instead of getting back on defense.

      You do know Bill Russell And Wilt Chamberlain were both better than Jordan right?

      And I didn’t know Hall of Famers Pippen and Rodman weren’t superstars back in the day.

        You could argue that, you could also argue that Wilt and Bill, didnt play against the talent of the late 80s and 90s, which in my opinion has the greatest talent to ever play the game. Jordan never lost a finals, hes a 5x MVP (same as russell) Except Bill was a 3x first team all nba, vs Jordans 10x All first team. Russell First team defense 1 time vs Jordans 9. NBA all time leading Playoff scorer of all time, 3x Steals champ, 10x scoring champ 3x AP male Athlete of the year, Oh an his 4 gold medals. but yea Bill and Wilt are better, a quick google will prove how dumb you sound.

    Nick tried to read a bible verse at the wedding. But the Bible immediately combusted as soon as he touched it.

    I’ve never heard anyone say the “Alabama Elephants.” So, seeing as it’s the Crimson Tide, they could have a red tidal wave on the helmet and have a “blood shark” on a surf board riding said wave. That would be awesome.

      The elephant pays homage to the 1930 season in which the linebackers were described as being as large and brutal as elephants

      I don’t know, man. Crimson Tide has always reminded me of periods for some reason.
