Nick Saban’s response to Jalen Milroe’s touchdown being nullified by a penalty is quite telling.

Nick Saban appeared to be just as irritated as the other fans during Saturday night’s Alabama game at Bryant-Denny Stadium’s Saban Field.

Alabama was ahead 14-6 at the same point. A holding penalty caused Jalen Milroe’s 74-yard touchdown run to be called back.
Nick Saban, the football coach at Alabama, would have lost it. Rather, Nick Saban, the former football coach of Alabama, watched like a disapproving parent.
