Tua Tagovailoa is making the rounds in Miami this week ahead of Super Bowl LIV. He joined Dan Patrick on his show Thursday. Patrick, of course, asked for a funny Nick Saban story. Here is Tua’s response:
“I’d say a pretty cool one was in the spring, coach Saban … we were close but when it came time for summer break, Coach Saban would just text to see how we were doing and call. Coach Saban called and I answered … then he brings up Game of Thrones. He was like ‘Did you watch the last episode of Game of Thrones?’ From there we just started talking about Game of Thrones. I think people look at Coach Saban as someone who is really strict and really hard on the players when really there is time for everything. On the field, it’s straight business. But off the field, he’s a very personable person. He really cares about his players and really cares about his coaching staff. Summer camp, he could yell at me the entire practice. Then once it’s over, he’s joking and everybody is laughing. You’re confused because just two minutes ago he was yelling at you.”
