Pat McAfee’s latest move is seriously ruffling feathers. While Nick Saban’s calmly breaking things down, Pat’s out here acting like he’s running a circus. Fans are straight-up wondering whether he is attempting to take control of the situation or simply struggling to cope with the relaxed atmosphere. Regardless, this has stirred up a range of emotions – some people find it amusing while others seem irritated. While Saban is focusing on the long-term strategy, Pat is giving a vibe of hosting a reality show.
In a discussion with Pat McAfee about noise at Notre Dame in ESPN College Football, Nick Saban highlighted the challenge of using silent counts in hostile environments. Moreover, he also talks about what usually happens when forced to go silent, especially in stadiums like LSU, which can ultimately lead to false starts. Saban says, “Most college teams are not adept at that. So when you try to do it, it can create huge problems. I remember when, you know, two was playing for us, and we played at LSU; we went right down the field. We got like, four false starts in a row because we tried to go on.”

While he was finishing his sentence, saying, “I mean, it was where the coach breaks his headset.” Pat started shouting his voice out. That sudden, out-of-nowhere noise looked intentional and off-putting. However, it’s not the first time Pat did something out of sight to give Nick Saban a hard time. It’s kind of become a tradition to interrupt Saban while he is speaking during Alabama-Georgia Game Day. McAfee’s constant awkward dancing moves and snapping of fingers at him is still one of the classic examples of his crazy fun activity.

But it’s not like Nick Saban doesn’t enjoy his funny gestures. Since he is still adjusting to his new life in front of the camera, these funny moments make it easy for him, as Saban says, “I never knew any of this; I never experienced this. I’ve never been to anything like this. This is so much fun!” But then it looks like this time Pat may have crossed his line.
Nick Saban’ getting fans’ support over Pat’ act
Pat McAfee teasing Nick Saban during their Game Day meetups is slowly becoming their thing. They have this fun banter going on between them, which keeps the mood of the show all casual and lit. But there is a thin line between fun and disrespect, and somehow Pat is crossing it with his recent howling gestures. Honestly, McAfee’s behavior gave a vibe that I gotta make my voice heard. Even fans can’t help but notice such weird things as they say, “I can’t be the only person who hates Pat. Like, just shut up, dude. Why do you have to randomly scream while Nick Saban is talking?”

Let’s get this straight. No one does that to a legendary person like Nick Saban, not even in fun. Pat McAfee has this tendency to tease Saban, and one such stance he brought out during his move from North to South for coaching Alabama was just to avoid weather extremes, and even Saban chimed into this light, chill conversation, but this time he somehow crossed his line. And fans are not totally wrong when they say, “Pat can’t even shut up long enough for Saban to finish his thought. PAT IS WHY I CAN’T WATCH.” Words can be harsh, but the intention is straight.
I mean, we get it. Pat McAfee is a guy who loves to be energetic and bring in all the excitement in his interviews and show, but this dude should chill for a while, as it’s just a normal conversation, not a rock concert. Moreover, you can’t blame fans when they say things like, “He’s always been annoying.” Pat loves chaos, and this time he has successfully gotten on Nick Saban’s nerves, and this comment is making it even worse. “Just speeding things up.” It’s not a race, buddy. Whatever the situation might be, this act will surely mark a long-lasting impression on fans minds.
