Nick Saban seems like a demanding coach. His Alabama team had a 17-7 lead in the third quarter of the Peach Bowl against Washington on Saturday, but a couple of bad things happened to Saban’s team in a period of just a few moments, and that led to Saban looking extraordinarily unhappy.
Watch a literally hopping-mad Nick Saban scream ‘SNAP THE BALL’ over and over
Saban’s preferences are clear.


First, Alabama’s quarterback fumbled, but the Tide managed to fall on the ball. Then, Alabama took a delay of game on the next play. Fireworks followed.
I am not a lip-reader, at least not professionally. But that’s definitely Saban yelling, “Snap the ball!” with gusto and maybe some other colorful language mixed in. Saban is quite literally hopping as he is saying these things. It’s all just so wonderfully vigorous.
Alabama would punt shortly thereafter.
