If you needed another reason to dislike Nick Saban, he provided it on Thursday.
The Alabama head coach -- partnering with a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Birmingham, Ala. he co-owns -- released a $200,000 luxury van called the "Nick Saban Signature Series Mercedes-Benz Sprinter."
Nick Saban Frustrated At Alabama; 3 Jobs He Should Consider
"There's a standard that we want to do things to," Saban said about the van, per Al.com. "After looking at what they produced, I'm extremely pleased and proud and happy."
Saban's son, Nicholas -- who unsurprisingly is the AMG specialist at the dealership -- revealed his father played a hands-on role in the process, reviewing color palettes, materials and features.
"We wanted it to be something that was truly exclusive," Nicholas said.
The van seats nine passengers, has three TVs, high-tech audio/video systems and conference-calling capabilities. Saban's signature is even stitched into the headrests.
Tailgating in your dad's 1998 Chrysler Town & Country is now a thing of the past. Thanks to Saban, you can now enjoy getting blackout drunk on the van's hardwood floors while you glorify the competitiveness of the SEC.
That's right, hardwood floors. This thing has hardwood floors and massage chairs.
Clearly, money was not an issue during the creative process.
"No expense was spared," said Jeffrey Hunter, overseer of McSweeny Designs, the designer of the vehicle. "It's meant to be in keeping with the exceptional nature of the Mercedes-Benz brand, the Nick Saban brand and the McSweeney Designs brand."
Thankfully, only 15 of these pretentious vehicles were produced, allowing you to easily pinpoint the braggart at your next tailgate party.
