In a surprising revelation, legendary football coach Nick Saban has proclaimed that Jordan-Hare Stadium, home to Auburn University's football team, is 'haunted'! This declaration, made on ESPN's College GameDay, has sparked intrigue and debate among fans and rivals alike.
Saban, known for his strategic mind and intense demeanor, shared his thoughts on the infamous 'Prayer at Jordan-Hare' moment. He admitted that Auburn's win in that game, followed by their victory over Alabama two weeks later, was a haunting experience. But here's where it gets controversial—Saban claims this stadium is the only one where he has a losing record, which he describes as 'horrible'.
The 73-year-old coach recalled some of the wildest football moments at Auburn's campus, including overtime losses and wins, and even a reference to the 'Grave Digger' play. He also mentioned a recent incident where Alabama had 12 players on the field, leading to a crucial mistake. And this is the part most people miss—Saban's record at Jordan-Hare Stadium is indeed a rare blemish on his otherwise stellar coaching career.
With a 5-7 record at the stadium during his time at Alabama and LSU, and a slightly better 5-4 record as the Alabama coach, Saban's words carry weight. Is Jordan-Hare Stadium truly haunted, or is it a psychological hurdle for one of the greatest coaches in the sport? You decide, and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below!
