Aside from being a successful head coach in the University of Alabama football team, Nick Saban turns out to be an excellent interior designer too.

When asked about Alabama’s kicking woes on his weekly radio show, HC Nick Saban became increasingly irritated by the “negative thoughts”.
That’s right a Mercedes-Saban luxury van they’re calling the “Ultimate Tailgating Experience Sprinter”.
The coach consulted on the van’s design and, as AL.com noted, then put his stamp on it, figuratively and literally, as his signature is stitched into each headrest. He calls it the “Nick Saban Signature Series”. This thing has hardwood floors and massage chairs.
Priced at $200,000, the new vehicle was designed with tailgating, corporate entertaining and family travel in mind. But inside, this van is hiding something pretty exciting.
“We wanted it to be something that was truly exclusive”, said Nicholas Saban, the coach’s son who works as the AMG specialist at the Birmingham Mercedes dealership. When you pass someone on the highway, the van plays an automated voice that says “You are now entering Lane Kiffin mode”. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will put you back a fifth of a million dollars. Another is the high-end Samsung 4k UHD curved LED TV with screen measuring 48-inches diagonally.
