Ever since Nick Saban hung his cape and left the world of college football, the fans have been devastated. The upcoming 2024 season will be the first time in over 17 years that the Alabama fans won’t look closely at Saban on the sidelines, yelling at his players animatedly. Though they’ll miss his television presence dearly, Saban has given them something to munch on but not the entire cake with his recent VRBO commercial. From being the HC for Alabama for over 17 seasons to taking on the role of a hotel owner who overstays his welcome, Nick Saban seems to be on a drastically new character arc.

The legendary coach has taken to acting now in an unpredictable comeback. Nick Saban recently partnered with the popular brand, VRBO and the commercial that has been released has had the fans in a stitch. The commercial featured Saban as an overbearing hotel host, showcasing a side of him that fans have never seen before.

Most of the fans under the comments were either in disbelief over Saban’s talents or rolling on the floor laughing, with no one in between. This one fan was so amused with one of the lines from the commercial that he commented, “This is daddy time in the tub.🤣🐐” Nick Saban is and probably will be the GOAT of college football and now looks to be embarking on a supposedly new acting career while chilling in the pool with his flabbergasted hotel guests. Moreover, here are more reactions from the fans that caught our eye, compiled below.

The fans react with laughing emojis for Saban’s new look

Saban being cold and rude to his players for more than a decade is something that all NCAA fans have been accustomed to. But him being the same way to a loving family of 3 trying to spend a vacation was just out of the blue! The VRBO commercial hints at two possibilities- either Saban is actually that person outside of the football field or he’s an actually amazing actor. As per the fans’ reactions, it might be the latter.

This user commended the humor in the video by saying, “Nick Saban has a new commercial with VRBO. it’s as hilarious as you would expect it to be”

Next, this fan noted all the commercials he’s done throughout his career and claimed that this was his best one. His comment read, “In all the commercials he has done that is by far his best acting job. Excellent.”

This person highlighted how relaxed and chill Saban seems to be now that he’s retired and wrote, “Saban appears to be enjoying retirement a little too much.”

Another user gave props to the creativity of the advertisement and said, “Best commercial I’ve seen in a while!”

Thus, Saban won the hearts of Alabama fans for so many years and now is continuing to spread joy with his acting prowess and funny commercials. He’s set to begin his career as a sports broadcaster now and hopefully, the fans will get to see him adjust more to his acting side soon!
