One day, Nick Saban was flying to Atlanta for an SEC conference. The pilot warned him about the bad weather, but Nick insisted on leaving that day anyway. Mid-flight, the plane was struck by lightning and went down...sucks...
So Nick and the pilot came upon the Pearly Gates. An angel greeted them. The angel said to the pilot that everyone who comes to heaven is provided a house. The pilot was curious and asked if they were going to get to see their houses soon.
The angel replied that he would take the pilot to his house, but that Nick Saban was not going to heaven. Nick was shocked and asked if he could take a look around anyways. The angel figured this would be fine and agreed to a tour.
They went first to the pilot's house. It was moderately sized with brown shade of paint. The pilot was pleased and went inside his house.
The angel then asked Nick if he wanted to see the part of heaven where the SEC coaches live. Nick replied that he would love to and followed the angel down the streets of gold.
They came upon a rather large house with a bulldog out front and a Georgia flag flying high over the roof. The angel told Nick, "This is Pop Warner's house. He allowed Auburn to win their first game against Georgia so we let him have his flag and his dog."
The next house was much larger than the Georgia house and had "Roll Tide Roll" signs and Alabama flags everywhere. The angel said to Nick, "This is Bear Bryant's house. With his 6 national championships and 13 conference championships we figured he deserved a really nice house. He did a lot for football in the South."
They continued walking and they came upon this massive mansion on a hilltop. It had "War Eagle" signs lined up along the long pathway up to the house. It had a large pool, a gorgeous garden, and statues of tigers and Auburn flags beautifully decorating the outside grounds.
Nick Saban stopped. Outraged he wondered aloud to the angel why on earth Shug Jordan deserved such a nice house. "What did HE do to earn something like that?? It just isn't fair!"
The angel replied, "Oh that's not Shug Jordan's house, it's God's."
