Nick Saban’s Election Day obliviousness reminds me of Panthers’ first coach, Dom Capers

While Election Day on Tuesday split the country in half, I have been heartened at how many people care enough about who becomes president that they had an opinion about it and took the time to vote.

And then there’s Nick Saban. Look, I know football coaches work crazy hours and obsess over tiny details about their fourth-string tight ends. But there is absolutely no excuse for Saban to not have even known that Tuesday was Election Day, which he admitted in a press conference Wednesday when asked his thoughts about it.

“To be honest with you, I didn’t even know yesterday was Election Day,” Saban said the day after Donald Trump’s election.
