Nick Saban stars in hilarious new commercial: ‘This is daddy time in the tub’

Nick Saban appears to be just as demanding in retirement as he was as the Alabama football coach, if his latest commercial is any indication.

Vrbo announced a new ad campaign with Saban, who turns into the worst vacation rental host of all time. The campaign, according to the press release, spotlights a key difference between Vrbo and other vacation rental apps — private vacation homes with no hosts.

The vacation rental brand highlights why vacations are better without a host — especially when that host is the retired Alabama football coach known for his uncompromising and demanding leadership style.

It turns out Saban doesn’t have an “off switch” when it comes to being a vacation rental host.

In the humorous 60-second spot for the campaign, a family arrives at their vacation home to find Saban guarding the front porch. The former coach has a thick playbook of house rules: There’s no fun, no streaming, no games — and no way to get rid of the overbearing host. Even mom and dad must share the hot tub with Saban.
