This time, it was Nick Saban doing the paying.
During s spring break last month, Saban bought Dabo Swinney a gift certificate for a particular restaurant in Boca Grande, Florida because Clemson beat Alabama in last season’s national championship game this past January.
Swinney confirmed that Saban did as much while speaking with “College Sports Today” on Friday.
“We had a great – probably the best meal I’ve ever had. It was awesome,” Swinney said. “We had appetizers and dessert to go with it. It was great. I did have to dip into my pocket for 50 bucks, though, but it was all good.
