Ric Flair pays homage to Nick Saban’s undefeated record against assistants in the most Ric Flair way ever

Last Saturday Alabama head coach Nick Saban extended his record against his former assistants to a staggering 22-0 with a victory over Kirby Smart and Georgia.

Smart, who served as Saban’s defensive coordinator at Alabama from 2008-15, had come close to catching his former head coach a few times in the past and for a half looked like to in another dog fight. But Saban was able to prevail and get a 41-24 win at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Obviously, Crimson Tide fans were fired up following the game as well as Saban and the team. But Saban’s extension of his record saw a tribute post from the “nature boy” himself Ric Flair who in actuality is a Georgia football fan.
