If you can get him in a tight game, it is guaranteed he will make some stupid calls. I use the 2013 IB to prove my point.


That's fair to an extent. The fake punt call they ran in the National Championship game against Texas was one of the worst calls I've ever seen, and I was shocked he didn't try that shorter FG against Auburn this year in the fourth. That being said, I saw Saban adjust quite well in the SEC Championship game against UGA and regardless of how much talent you have, managing that in game is incredibly difficult and Saban has managed that well.

Some said that was an audible called on the field...don't know if true. Julio being poorly prepared to call for a fair catch on that kickoff was just as bad.
