saban looks fake in that picture. I don't mean it looks like he's faking a smile; he literally doesn't look real. It looks like a cardboard cutout or a decent Photoshop job. It's also hard for me to understand how such a diminutive man can be so powerful in the game of football.
It's not just you. It looks like in the Saban picture he doesn't want them to touch him. Maybe they used the bathroom and didn't wash their hands.
If he's traveling on LSU dollars he is sitting in coach unless he has a mileage upgrade, which he probably has in Cameron's case. But often LSU fat cat boosters will offer coaches their private planes for recruiting trips.
