Shane Gillis goes viral for Nick Saban 'Alabama Jones' College GameDay dig before Indiana vs Notre Dame
Share:
College GameDay took an awkward turn Friday night as comedian Shane Gillis clashed with Nick Saban in the buildup to Indiana vs Notre Dame - not that college football fans were complaining. Gillis, a big Notre Dame fan, joined Pat McAfee on the show with ESPN in South Bend for the big game and didn't miss his chance to taunt former Alabama coach Saban.

Speaking to McAfee about his hopes for Notre Dame, Gillis said the showdown 'felt different' because: 'Now that everybody can pay their players Notre Dame has a shot. Not just the SEC and Coach Saban.'. McAfee appeared to enjoy the dig at Saban, giving Gillis a fist bump. And the 37-year-old wasn't done there.
Later on, back at the studio by the field, McAfee reminded Gills of his comments in front of Saban. 'You called him a cheater earlier,' McAfee said, before Gillis replied mocking Saban's appearance. You’re a bad guy @Shanemgillis ����#CollegeGameDay pic.twitter.com/6qhOp1T10r.
Shane Gillis repeatedly mocked Nick Saban during his Friday appearance on College GameDay. Gillis called the 72-year-old Saban 'Alabama Jones' for wearing his hat at Friday's game. 'I don't think the SEC payed players ever. I'm joking - is this not a fun show? Is this a serious show? Alabama Jones is very serious. Get the whip, Indy,' he said, referencing a hat Saban was wearing that resembled Indiana Jones.
