This jumping Georgia coach hovered in the air like there was a glitch in the Matrix

What the heck ...

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

You’re going to watch this video about 20 times, and it’s going to break your brain every single time.

When three players came crashing out of bounds during Georgia vs. Georgia Tech, one UGA coach on the sideline saw the whole thing coming and jumped the pile. But he didn’t just leap them, he jumped and hovered in the air like he was on wires before sticking the landing.

It’s natural to assume some sort of video trickery when you see something like this, and I don’t blame you. From what I can tell the video hasn’t been faked, and the only manipulation might be slowing it down even further once he gets in the air — but even then it only partially explains this jump.

Gonna keep watching this on loop all day, or perhaps the remixed version.
