Nick Saban said he got “hoodwinked” earlier this week when recruits visited his house in what became a viral video.

On Sunday, the Alabama coach showed off his Ferrari. Dre Kirkpatrick Jr., a three-star safety, shared a video of Saban on his Instagram story. The video, as you can below, shows Saban getting in and starting up the car for a group of recruits.

On Friday, during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” he was asked about the viral video.

“They all want to drive it,” Saban joked.

Part of what made the video go viral, in addition to the fact that it was a Ferrari, were the three Styrofoam cups in the cupholder and what appeared to be some chewing tobacco in the door.

“Look, I got kind of hoodwinked into that,” Saban said. “One of the guys that had been visiting, (and) we always have the players over to the house for breakfast on Sunday morning. We walk out. They see the car, and they all ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ about the car. They said, ‘Why don’t you start it up, so we can see what it sounds like?’ I went and got the keys and started it up.

“I didn’t know the guy was going to video it, and it was going to go viral. But that’s the way it goes.”

Still, the Alabama coach made light of the situation.

“We have the parents over on Saturday night,” he said. “It would have been much more interesting if they had caught me line dancing.”

Saban has been known to hit the Cupid Shuffle and Wobble. Why?

“I don’t karaoke,” he said in August.
