Considering Nick Saban has recently become a co-owner of a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Birmingham, and combine that with his high profile nature as the head coach of the Tide, it only makes sense that he gets his own signature vehicle.
The Nick Saban Signature Series Mercedes Sprinter is the definition of a luxury van - and if there was never such a thing before, there is now. According to AL.com, the nine passenger van is decked out with conference style seating for seven, a few 40-inch TVs, mobile direct TV for entertaining or tailgates, a built-in cooler, hardwood flooring, massage chairs.
Price tag on the car? A cool $200,000. It was designed via a collaboration between a custom design group and the dealership that Saban co-owns.
As you soak that up, we wondered what vehicles correlated with other FBS coaches if Saban's is a posh van. Here's what we came up with.
Steve Spurrier: For convenience going from the golf course, to the beach, to the practice field.
Mike Leach: An old-school VW van, because it fits in just fine in both Key West, FL and Pullman, Wash.
Bret Bielema: No explanation necessary.
Gus Malzahn, Art Briles, Chad Morris, Tom Herman: Anything seen in the Fast and Furious series of movies.
Kliff Kingsbury: Zach is convinced that Kingbury's car would be a "stylish, drop top BMW" and only two seats would be necessary. I saw it only comes in two color options; red and black (and maybe a gunmetal gray).
Jim Harbaugh: Harbaugh should just hijack Fox's Khaki cruiser and start living in it.
What are some others you can come up with?
