I guess part of what makes a great coach a great coach is never missing a teachable moment.  With his Alabama Crimson Tide leading Mississippi State 30-3, Nick Saban decided to give his redshirt freshman quarterback, A.J. McCarron, a few reps.  McCarron passed for 50 yards and rushed for -10 during his limited action, but it appeared Saban wasn’t all that pleased with his performance. Either that, or he was way too please.  You be the judge.  Check out the video of Nick Saban spanking A.J. McCarron

That’s a straight up “I told you to be home before the street lights came on!” ass-warming right there. 

Thanks to Deadspin and YouTube user SportsAndSuch for the video.
