A day after the big news was announced, Nick Saban got an opportunity to comment on the return of Dixieland Delight.
Prompted by Peewee from Grand Bay, the weekly first caller to his radio show, Saban gave his view of the 1983 song from the country band Alabama.
"This is a great tradition," Saban said, "and something I really enjoy and one of the traditions that I will always remember about being here at Alabama is playing that song at the games and everybody singing and having a good time with it."
The traditional playing of the song in the fourth quarter of home games was discontinued after the 2014 Iron Bowl when a four-letter word directed was repeatedly directed toward Auburn.
