Nick Saban Likes Winning Championships And Making Deez Nuts Jokes

What are two things that Nick Saban likes to do? Win championships and tell “deez nuts” jokes.

Playing at a place with the standards that Alabama has would be tough but hearing one of the grumpiest people in the world tell a “deez nuts” joke would make it all worth it, I mean that and obviously the guaranteed NFL contract.
