Even Nick Saban, one of the most successful and most prepared college football coaches of all time and a veteran boater to boot, can occasionally run into trouble on the water.

But for the record, Saban said he didn't run out of gas while spending the afternoon on the lake with some of his Alabama players last week as was the rage on social media, even though he has gotten a big laugh out of some of the responses.

Saban told ESPN that what actually happened was the fuel pump was defective. And get this: The boat was new.
