Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban wasn't just intimidating on the sidelnes, he also brought the heat when it came to is daughter, Kristen, bringing dates to the house. Saban revealed that he would ask "What do you play?" to try and intimidate them...
quote:

"When they come and the doorbell rang, and Kristen had a date, everybody ran to open the door because they didn’t want me to open it," Saban said on "The Pivot" podcast with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder, (first transcribed by On3). "Because if I opened it, first thing I looked at the guy and say, ‘What do you play?’ just to intimidate the (expletive) out of ‘em."

All I can think of when I read this is the Den of Thieves scene when the guy comes to pick up 50s daughter for prom. Be tough all you want but you aint frickin around in that room with that crowd. "For the last 16 years my daughter's safety and protection has been my responsibility and my responsibility only. Now for the first time I see I gotta hand you that responsibility. Don't frick up or your momma will weep because she has to wheel your arse around every day for the rest of your life. I see you at 11:30"

I’d tell him I play bitches like his daughter and expect her home late.

Let’s be real: the only reason you would date Nick Saban’s daughter is to get close to Nick. I’d head straight to the living room to chill out after he opened the door.

Little old cajun once told me whatever I did to his daughter he was going to do to me. Around the third date we kissed for the first time (she was very reserved).

As soon as I got her home I walked in with a ahit eating grin. And when her dad came around the corner I jokingly said I got a kiss and I want another one. Grabbed him in a bear hug and he thankfully didn't kill me. Laughed. Realized I wasn't a bad guy. His daughter and I broke up a year or so later, but I was friends with her pops until he passed. He was a damned good man.

He probably should have hit me.

Not because it’s true, just to see how he responded

Better than a father I met once when picking up a date. The 6'4" 240 lb father whispered to me that if I didn't bring her home in the exact shape and condition that I picked her up he would kill me. That stayed with me a while.That is until we got drunk and went skinny dipping in the river.

The "class" or "league" the guy is in that she brings around is a direct reflection of what she thinks she deserves.

If he's a squirrel...this is what she thinks of herself...and thus, the ole man's fault for not instilling more love and self-confidence into her.

Ehhh, lotta ugly losers think they deserve an Insta model, but never get. Lot of people don't get what they think they deserve. At least outwardly aspects. Inwardly ethics, then yes.

If you raise your daughter the right way you shouldn’t have to intimidate her date
