Nick Saban is a stunt driver in his spare time in new Mercedes ad

YH Saban Mercedes

Alabama football head coach Nick Saban has a powerful position in the state. His word of support for a product can sway whether it is successful among his fan base.

Saban is a partner in a new Mercedez-Benz dealership in Birmingham, so, naturally he would be the spokesman in the state.

He’s featured in a new ad that sees a red Mercedes SLS doing complete Men in Black tunnel spins and driving somewhere that appears to be a forest in the Pacific Northwest. Maybe Nick was recruiting someone up there.

The car stops and Saban takes off his helmet — without a hair out of place — and says, “Success is the result of great planning, preparation and execution.”

We assume he also has a “tremendous amount of respect for Mercedes.”

Here’s the new commercial.
