“I’ll tell you what, I want Darius Rucker to know that every Saturday night we had a karaoke party at our house in recruiting, and the No. 1 requested song was ‘Wagon Wheel,' » he said, eliciting laughter from his co-hosts.

It’s only a matter of time before he shows us

those dance moves he’s so famous for

Saban, who has made many guest appearances on

College GameDay

“ESPN and

College GameDay

have played such an important role in the growth of college football, and I’m honored to have the opportunity to join their team,” he said in a statement. “I’ll do my best to offer additional insights and perspectives to contribute to College GameDay, the ultimate Saturday tradition for college football fans.”

We look forward to more musical contributions too, coach!
