Alabama Crimson Tide head football coach Nick Saban wore a Luigi hat (based on the legendary Mario Bros. video game series) during a segment of ESPN personality Colin Cowherd's new football TV show, appropriately called "Colin's New Football Show".
During the Cage Confessional segment, Cowherd made reference to the houndtooth hat that legendary Alabama football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant used to wear and asked Saban if he would consider wearing a hat. Saban was willing to put on the Luigi hat for a goof, and said he would consider wearing it during a game if it enhances his image.
Saban also admitted that he was very afraid of Santa Claus when he was young, and he originally got involved in sports when he was 9 years old as a way to get out of accordion practice. Here's the full segment:
