Video of dancing Nick Saban goes viral

Not only does Nick Saban own six national championship titles, the Alabama football coach apparently also owns a nice pair of boogie shoes.

Video of the 66-year-old Saban dancing surfaced Sunday, after a high school recruit's father posted the video to Facebook.

Saban has been recruiting cornerback prospect Eddie Smith of Slidell, Louisiana, and the video shows the crimson-jacketed coach doing the Cupid Shuffle and the Wobble during an off-campus visit.

The video has been shared multiple times on Facebook, retweeted on Twitter and been the subject of news articles published by a variety of websites, from online gossip site TMZ.com to yahoosports.com.

Most of the articles praise Saban's Cupid Shuffle skills, but add that his Wobble needs a little work.

Some of the headlines read "You just wish you had Nick Saban's dance moves" and "Nick Saban shows why he's a recruiting god with some slick dance moves."

No word yet on whether "Dancing With the Stars" has expressed an interest in UA's coach.
