Nick Saban already has Dabo Swinney’s number on the dance floor. It won’t be any different when Alabama meets Clemson in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday.
Saban -- who won his fourth SEC title with the Crimson Tide in 2015 -- showed some celebratory moves after a 38-0 victory over Michigan State on New Year's Eve. He left much to be desired.

Saban wasn’t exactly asked to quit his day job.
"I don't know what he was doing," Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry said, per Al.com. "We were talking about it the other day at practice. It was funny."

Naturally, Saban was too proud to admit he failed at something.
"I really didn't want to dance," Saban said. "I really do have some moves. I didn't want to let them all out.
“I really was criticized pretty harshly by [my daughter] Kristen, who has seen me dance before and knows I can be better. She thought my effort was not real good."
As bad as Saban’s effort was, it still wasn’t as bad as the debacle Dabo Swinney is yet to apologize for.

Swinney let his inhibitions go. Saban -- as he is with every aspect of his life -- was calculated.
It’s the reason he’s going for his fourth national championship in seven years and fifth overall. It’s the reason the Crimson Tide are favored by a TD, per Bovada.
It’s the reason he’ll be mentioned in the same breath as Paul “Bear” Bryant come Tuesday.
Saban is 1 win away from his 5th nat'l championship. Bear Bryant is the only HC in major coll history to win least 5 nat'l champ. #RollTide
