Legendary football coach Nick Saban has a new job that has him hosting families during their vacation rentals, according to a new commercial he stars in.
Saban, who coached at the University of Alabama for 16 years and won six national championships with the Crimson Tide, appeared in a commercial for Vrbo, an online vacation rental marketplace. The 72-year-old resigned as head coach in January.
In the one-minute spot, Saban welcomes a family of four to their rented vacation home. He treats the family like his players, paying attention to their arrival time and planning their trip.
“As a host, I have a few rules,” Saban says in the ad. “No showers longer than five minutes, this is not a spa. No streaming, cable only… no games, no fun, the kids are not even allowed in the house.”
“Daddy time in the tub”
The commercial then shows Saban mowing the lawn and yelling at the family’s two children to leave the house.
“How did you two get in?” the former coach asks the children.
Saban also stipulates that you can “flush the toilet a maximum of two times per visit.” While sitting in the hot tub with the family’s parents, the former coach tells them they have 10 minutes because that’s “daddy time in the tub.”
What is Nick Saban doing now?
Saban’s retirement came as a surprise to many, as he signed an eight-year, $93.6 million contract in 2022 to continue coaching at Alabama.
“The University of Alabama has been a very special place for Terry and me,” Saban said in a statement in January. “We have enjoyed every minute of our 17 years as head coaches at Alabama and have become a part of the Tuscaloosa community.”
“It’s not just about how many games we won and lost, it’s about our legacy and how we handled it. We’ve always tried to do it right. The goal has always been to help players create more value for their future, be the best player they can be and be more successful in life because they were part of the program.”
In February, Saban announced that he had joined ESPN as a media analyst and is expected to make frequent appearances on the network’s “College GameDay” program.
“ESPN and College GameDay have played such an important role in the growth of college football, and I am honored to have the opportunity to join their team. I will do my best to provide additional insight and perspective that contributes to College GameDay, the ultimate Saturday tradition for college football fans,” Saban said in a press release.
